Progress and Variation in Nutrition Care for Preterm Infants in Australasia: Results From the 2024 Australasian Neonatal Dietitians Network Survey

Greater alignment with consensus guidelines and workforce benchmarks is needed. Enhancing neonatal dietitian integration, research engagement and resourcing is critical to supporting equitable, high-quality neonatal nutrition care.
