The aim of this study was to examine the expectations, perceptions, and attitudes about dietetics services among the Australian and New Zealand public to provide insights for building a future dietetics workforce that will meet consumer needs. This project is complementary to recent work by the research team which considered the views of expert stakeholders on the future of dietetics in Australia and New Zealand.
