Welcome to the training site for Good Food for New Arrivals

Good Food for New Arrivals (GFNA)  is a nutrition awareness program designed to facilitate and improve access to sound and relevant information by newly arrived humanitarian and refugee families with young children. 

Established in 2001, it is one of the many programs and services services offered through the Association for Services to Torture and Trauma Survivors Inc. (ASeTTS) WA.

Through extensive community consulation, a range of resources and teaching materials have been developed to support and enhance the food and nutrition needs of refugee families.

For more details about these resources please visit www.asetts.org.au/nutrition

The GFNA training materials have since been developed for use by service providers to enhance the nutrition knowledge and cultural competency skills of staff working in this area.
