Eating Well With MS is a fully online nutrition education program designed for people living with multiple sclerosis. It aims to improve diet quality by supporting healthy, evidence-based dietary behaviours through practical and accessible education.

The program consists of six self-paced modules, taking approximately one hour per week to complete, plus a 3-month refresher module. It was pilot-tested in 2022 and shown to be feasible and well accepted. It is now being evaluated in a large randomised controlled trial across Australia to assess its effectiveness on diet quality, fatigue, quality of life, and mental health in people living with MS.
