Dietetics

What Is Dietetics?

Dietitians are qualified experts in food and nutrition. They provide professional evidence-based nutrition and dietary guidance on healthy eating, disease prevention and management of a range of medical/chronic conditions.

A dietitian can help you understand:

• What to eat to meet your body’s needs;
• How to eat in a way that fits your routine and preferences;
• How to manage various health conditions through nutrition.

Why Choose a Dietitian?

Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) are allied health professionals who are university educated and have the highest level of nutritional qualification in Australia to deliver evidence-based services. They are committed to ongoing training and education throughout their careers.

Unlike general nutritionists, dietitians are qualified to assess, diagnose, and treat nutrition-related health conditions. APDs bring extensive experience across various clinical settings, medical nutrition therapy, the food industry, education, and research.

They utilise an individualised approach to nutrition counselling, delivering practical and sustainable interventions tailored to each person’s specific needs and circumstances. Importantly, only APDs accredited by Dietitians Australia are eligible for Medicare, DVA, and other government funding.
