The inherent requirements include legal compliance obligations such as complying with the requirements for student registration with the Nutrition Society of Australia, and complying with relevant field trip requirements (e.g. National Police Checks, Working With Children Checks). Students must also demonstrate knowledge, understanding and compliance with Australian law and regulatory requirements as a necessary pre-requisite to community engagement and practice placements.

Students enrolled in nutrition courses at Curtin University should be familiar with the requirements set out by the International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) and the Nutrition Society of Australia (NSA), as both bodies may impact their progression throughout their studies and in entering the profession.

Curtin will endeavour to meet all students' needs to ensure success with studies. Students with a disability or health condition may be able to have reasonable adjustments made to enable them to meet the inherent requirements. For further support, students are encouraged to contact Curtin's AccessAbility Services.

To be successful in your studies, all course requirements need to be met, which includes the academic/theoretical content and practical application (industry placement). Each inherent requirement consists of an introduction to the requirement, a justification for the requirement, and examples you must be able to demonstrate to meet the requirement.

The Nutrition Society of Australia (NSA) is a group of qualified, practising scientists and educators from diverse disciplines who are brought together by a common interest in the research and application of nutrition. Students are required to comply with the requirements for student registration with the NSA as appropriate, and familiarity with NSA standards may impact progression throughout studies and entry into the profession.
