Frequently asked questions about dietetics

What is dietetics?

Dietetics is the science of how food and nutrition affect health. Dietitians assess your dietary needs and offer personalised plans to support wellbeing, manage conditions, and promote long-term health through balanced nutrition.

Should I see a dietitian?

You might benefit from dietetic support if:

• You’ve been diagnosed with a condition affecting your diet
• You’re experiencing significant weight changes
• Your medications have changed your appetite or nutrient needs
• You find it difficult to eat a balanced diet

What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?

Both dietitians and nutritionists provide nutrition advice, but dietitians have formal clinical training and are accredited to provide medical nutrition therapy for specific health conditions. Nutritionists may have varying levels of education and do not require accreditation to practice.

Do I need a doctor’s referral for dietetics services?

You don’t need a referral to book a dietetics appointment. However, if you have a Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDMP) from your GP, bring it along to your consultation.

Can I claim this service on private health insurance?

Many private health plans include cover for dietetics. We recommend checking your policy or contacting your provider to confirm your level of cover.
