This study investigates the attitudes of pharmacy students and assistants in Australian drug stores towards dietary counseling. A survey-based approach was employed to assess perspectives, behavioral tendencies, and selfreported confidence levels in providing dietary advice to customers. Results reveal a spectrum of attitudes ranging from enthusiasm and confidence to apprehension and uncertainty regarding the role of pharmacy personnel in dietary guidance. Understanding these attitudes is crucial for informing educational interventions and professional development programs aimed at enhancing the capacity of pharmacy staff to deliver effective dietary counseling services within the community pharmacy setting.
