Nutrition Advisor (Volunteer)

Help ensure our food education is scientifically sound, accessible, and inspiring.

Tiny Fork creates joyful, creative tools that help families understand food and nutrition in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming. Our products and workshops are grounded in science, and we’re seeking a qualified nutrition professional to help keep our content evidence-based, accurate, and child-friendly.


This is a volunteer advisory role with a small monthly commitment. It’s perfect for someone who cares about improving children’s health outcomes and wants to lend their expertise to a growing social enterprise at the very beginning of its journey. While future paid roles may emerge, we’re prioritising applicants who are aligned with our mission and values first.


Role: Nutrition Advisor (Volunteer)

Time commitment: 2–3 hours per month (flexible)

Location: Remote / Ballarat region optional

Reports to: Founder (Anna)


What You’ll Do

You’ll act as an advisor to Tiny Fork, ensuring our family nutrition content is accurate, safe, and reflective of best practice.


You may:

  • Review nutrition statements used in educational materials
  • Provide input on Lunchbox Heroes cards and scripts
  • Offer feedback on recipes, nutrient references, and claims
  • Support the development of 2026 family workshops (e.g., immunity, gut health, seasonality)
  • Provide optional letters of endorsement when appropriate
  • Help us communicate evidence-based nutrition in a clear, parent-friendly way

This is not an “on-call” or clinic-style role - it’s advisory only, with a predictable, light-touch commitment.

  • A qualified Dietitian (APD), Nutritionist or studying to become one
  • Passionate about children’s nutrition, family health, food education or public health
  • Interested in community impact and social enterprise
  • Happy to contribute expertise in a flexible, low-administration way
  • Keen to use their skills to support better health outcomes for families
  • Collaborative, values-driven, and sparing with jargon
  • Excited about building something playful, science-informed, and meaningful


What You’ll Get

  • A chance to shape the nutrition integrity of Tiny Fork products
  • Experience advising an emerging social-impact initiative
  • Visibility and acknowledgment on our website and materials (optional if preferred)
  • Flexibility and respect for your time
  • Letter of reference / CPD aligned activities (if relevant)
  • The potential for future paid involvement if/when viable — without expectation
  • The joy of helping families learn about health and food in a way that feels empowering rather than prescriptive


Values We Care About

  • Evidence-based practice
  • Accessibility and inclusiveness
  • Kindness
  • Collaboration
  • Clear communication
