Accredited Practicing Dieticians (APDs) are university trained health professionals with the qualifications & skills to provide expert nutritional / dietary advice to both individuals and groups. APD is the only national credential recognised by the Australian Government, Medicare, Department of Veteran Affairs and most private health funds as the quality standard for nutrition and dietetic services in Australia.
Dieticians translate scientific nutrition information into practical advice to help you make the right decisions about what to eat to either attain or maintain optimal health, as well as treatment & prevention of both illness and disease. We keep up to date with the latest nutrition science and guidelines to provide best practice and ensure that their knowledge is evidence based.
