Welcome to the Neonatal and Infant Therapy Interest Group (NITIG) website. The focus of the Neonatal and Infant Therapy Interest Group is on feeding, growth, and early developmental issues for neonates and infants.
All interested health professionals and researchers are welcome to join free-of charge.
Neonatal and Infant Therapy Interest Group meetings occur quarterly in February, May, August, and November.
Meetings take place via video conference, hosted by the Children’s Nutrition Research Centre at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Brisbane. The meetings are 2 hours in duration and include presentations from health professionals around Australia on new research, clinical practice, and collaboration initiatives.
