Dietitians and nutritionists are qualified to provide a range of evidence-based nutrition services, but in addition, dietitians have the expertise to provide individual dietary counselling, medical nutrition therapy, group dietary therapy and food service management.

Grocery shopping and meal preparation aren't included as part of our dietetics service, our dietitians focus on assessing your nutritional needs and creating a tailored eating plan. If you'd like practical help with shopping or preparing meals, this is available through our meal delivery service, which our dietitians can help connect you with as part of your care.

Our dietitians will assess your health condition and work closely with you to assess what oral nutrition supplements you may need in addition to your ongoing nutritional plan. You may be able to utilise your funding allocation to purchase supplements, or if this isn't an option, our dietitians can help you access these at a subsidised rate. This will be discussed with you during the initial consultation.

Our dietitians can give you practical advice on how to modify your meals to reduce the incidences of choking and aspiration. This may also include using nutritional supplements. Please note that our dietitians do not assess for dysphagia, this must be done by a speech pathologist.

Yes. This service can be aligned with your values and preferences. We will take the time to learn your individual cultural and care needs so they are always considered when making our recommendations. We will also encourage you to set meaningful goals and help you to achieve them. You may also have your preferred support person included or access interpreting services if required.

Many older people feel uncertain about accepting help at first. That's a normal response, and it's worth taking seriously. Personalised guidance from a dietitian can make a big difference to nutrition and wellbeing, without taking away independence. Many clients find it helps them eat well and feel confident at home. We work with you and your loved one at their pace, and if they change their mind after starting, we'll always respect that. Our team members are trained to treat every client with dignity and respect.
