In addition to being a renowned chef, food author, restaurateur and food producer Beer recently led an ongoing campaign to improve food quality in aged care homes.

As part of the Albanese Government’s commitment to ensuring that older Australians in aged care enjoy delicious and nutritious meals, Beer joined forces with the government to design a free training program for cooks and chefs working in aged care facilities.

Beer said she was “thrilled” to help improve the dining experience for those in aged care.

“Food is nutrition not just for the body, but also for the soul. It’s what fires our appetite for life,” she said.

“The Maggie Beer Foundation is thrilled to partner with the Department of Health and Aged Care to provide opportunities for every chef and cook working in residential aged care to improve food, nutrition, and dining experiences for older people.”
