1995 National Nutrition Survey

The 1995 National Nutrition Survey (NNS), conducted over a 12-month period, was a joint project between the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and the Commonwealth Department of Health and Aged Care. It is the largest and most comprehensive and most recent Australian survey of food and nutrient intake, dietary habits and body measurements.

The NNS presents data derived from information collected on the food and beverage consumption patterns of the Australian population. The overall objective of the NNS was the provision of food and nutrient data to assist with the implementation of Australia’s Food and Nutrition Policy, future revisions of the Recommended Dietary Intakes, and future revisions of national health goals and targets.
