For Individuals
Dietetics and Nutrition
A dietitian is a professional who applies the science of food and nutrition to promote health, prevent and treat disease to optimise the health of individuals, groups, communities and populations. Our friendly team of Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) can help you eat well, feel great, and manage your health. Whether you want to manage a medical condition or just eat healthier, our dietitians are here to support you.
