We invite you to attend our fortnightly seminars, jointly organised by the Tasmanian branches of Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA) and Nutrition Society of Australia (NSA).  They are videolinked to several sites around Tasmania, and are consistently held at 1.00-2.00 pm.  The day of the seminars will vary between Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays - this (hopefully) provides wider opportunities for people to attend, even if a particular day of the week is routinely difficult for them.

We also have occasional face-to-face meetings.

Details of forthcoming meetings are listed at the above URL and details are emailed regularly to TAS NSA members.

Any queries: email Dr Kiran Ahuja at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
