How a course works

Four steps, at your own pace, on your phone, tablet or laptop.

  1. 1

    Choose a course

    Pick a topic and level. Every course page lists the modules, the tools you get, who the course suits and anything to check with your GP or another health professional first.

  2. 2

    Learn in short lessons

    Read a few minutes at a time. Your place is saved, so you can stop for school pick-up and carry on later on another device.

  3. 3

    Use the tools

    Fill in trackers, meal planners and checklists as you go. They save to your account, build into charts and download as PDFs.

  4. 4

    Get your certificate

    Answer at least 7 of the 10 final questions correctly to download a certificate with its own verification ID.

Learn it, then use it

Lessons link straight to a tool you can fill in on the spot: a plate builder after the lesson on the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating, a shopping list after the lesson on the Nutrition Information Panel, a sleep diary after the lesson on sleep habits. Your entries save to your account and download as PDFs.

Questions people ask

Who are MyNutriCare courses for?

Adults who want practical, trustworthy help with everyday food and wellbeing: people who want to eat better, parents and parents-to-be, women in midlife, people caring for a family member and anyone building healthier habits. No prior knowledge is needed.

Are the courses based on Australian guidelines?

Yes. The Australian edition follows the Australian Dietary Guidelines (NHMRC, 2013) and the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating. Lessons use serves and kilojoules and teach the labels you see in Australian supermarkets, such as the Nutrition Information Panel and the Health Star Rating. NHMRC is reviewing the dietary guidelines, and we will update the courses when new guidelines are published.

Are the courses medical advice?

No. The courses are general education about healthy habits, based on Australian public health guidance. They do not diagnose or treat any condition. If you have a health condition, are pregnant or take medicines, speak to your GP, midwife, pharmacist or another health professional before making changes. For health advice at any time, call healthdirect on 1800 022 222. In an emergency, call 000.

How long do I have access?

You pay once per course, in Australian dollars, and your access has no time limit. There is no subscription and nothing renews.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. When you answer at least 7 of the 10 final questions correctly, you can download a certificate of completion with your name, the course title and a verification ID. It shows you completed a general education course and is not a professional qualification.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, in most cases. Our voluntary refund promise gives you a full refund within 14 days of purchase if you have completed less than 20% of the course and no certificate has been issued. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected. Our refund policy has the details.
