The website is your one-stop-shop to order delicious and nutritious catering for your next event. All of the menus on the website comply with the Victorian Government’s Healthy Choices Guidelines and bring Monash one step closer to gaining accreditation for our efforts to promote healthy food choices on campus. The catering website is a collaborative project between the Monash Wellbeing team, and a team of placement students from the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food. We also worked with Monash Finance to ensure all the caterers on the website use consolidated invoicing – meaning no additional admin for you. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
