Biographical history

The organisation's predecessor, the Australian Association of Dietitians, was registered in the Australian Capital Territory on 5 January 1976. Branches operated in each state and territory encompassing offices that had existed before the formation of the national body. The organisation's name was changed to the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA) on 7 May 1983. In September 1994 the DAA passed a by-law to provide for the credential, Accredited Practising Dietitian - available to those dietitians who meet the required criteria. Since 1987, the DAA has published an official peer-reviewed journal, Nutrition and Dietetics. This includes the Journal of Dietitians New Zealand. Prior to this, the Commonwealth Department of Health published the Journal of Food and Nutrition (originally as Food and Nutrition Notes and Reviews in 1944).
