Dietitians help people to understand the relationship between food and health. They also help people change their diet so that they can become healthier, and stay healthy. Dietitians provide expert nutrition and diet advice for people of all ages. They can help if you have a food allergy, high cholesterol, diabetes, cancer or gastrointestinal diseases, or if you are overweight. They can help with other health problems too.

Dietitians are university educated in nutrition and dietetics, and those who meet strict criteria are eligible to join the Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) program, which is run by the Dietitians Association of Australia. The APD program is the only credential for dietitians recognised by the Australian Government (for Medicare and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs’ purposes) and many state governments and private health insurers. Our dietitian meets all these criteria to help you best meet your goals.
