dc.description.abstract	Poor nutrition is considered the underlying cause of various chronic non-communicable preventable diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These diseases impose a significant economic burden on Australian healthcare expenditure. Pharmacists are important members of the healthcare system and are highly accessible to patients. Counselling patients on medicines as well as lifestyle including nutrition, is part of their primary role in pharmacy practice. Pharmacists can play a prominent role in the provision of nutritional counselling, However, there are limited studies in Australia on the extent of nutritional counselling in pharmacy practice, including pharmacists’ attitude and confidence in this area.	en
