About us
Who are we?
We are a group of passionate multicultural student nutritionists and student dietitians at Monash University, Victoria, Australia. We believe in evidence-based practice. During a summer internship program in 2021, we combined our nutrition knowledge, evidence from literature, our unique cultural knowledge and living-away-from-home experience in developing this resource. We recognise our cultural diversity adds value to this resource. Our goal is to share our culturally-tailored healthy eating knowledge with other international students in Australia.
Our motto
Utilise our diversity and nutrition knowledge to help other international students to stay healthy while studying in a foreign land.

Continuing the project…
We are a group of international student dietitians at Monash University, who are currently in the first year of our Master degree. For our public health nutrition placement in 2022, under the supervision of Dr. Sue Kleve, Dr. Tammie Choi and Assoc. Prof. Julie Brimblecombe, we explored the grocery shopping experience of international students living on Monash Clayton Campus, with a particular interest in their access to cultural food. With the data collected, we developed additional resources such as a Grocery Guide Leaflet and grocery tour videos to help new international residents settle into a new food environment. You can find them under “Tips and Tricks - Time to shop: Find your cultural food” section!
