About Melanie:

Melanie McGrice is an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian, one of the few dietitians in Australia to achieve that status. Her success has made her an in-demand practitioner, author, conference speaker, and researcher who is eager to share what she knows with her clients and her peers. She is a go-to resource for the media, who frequently turn to her for their articles and news segments on nutrition, fertility, pregnancy and women’s health.

Melanie’s professional network is extensive. She worked for over 20 years in a variety of departments, including the maternity wards at Box Hill and St Vincents Hospitals. She is the past chairperson of the Dietitians Association of Australia, has served on the Board of the Early Life Nutrition Coalition and is the founder and current president of the Early Life Nutrition Alliance. Having been an adjunct lecturer at Swinburne University, Melanie now trains dietitians internationally to upskill in fertility and prenatal nutrition. It’s no surprise that she was awarded the coveted ‘Australian Dietitian of the Year’ in 2018.

About the webinar: 

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a complex condition resulting from prenatal exposure to alcohol. It affects brain development and can lead to lifelong challenges. As dietitians, we play a critical role in supporting pregnant clients and their babies through evidence-based nutritional interventions.

In this webinar, Melanie discusses how dietitians can minimise FASD-associated behavioural issues through Early Life Nutrition interventions.
