Dietetics

Creating meal plans tailored for you

A meal plan takes the guesswork out of mealtimes and empowers you to make good food choices. Perhaps you’re vegetarian or vegan, have food allergies, experiencing gut issues like diarrhoea or constipation or have food intolerances. You may need to manage a health condition, like coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease or diabetes. Our trained dietitians can create the right meal plan for you.

Reaching and maintaining a goal weight

Maintaining a healthy weight is important to your overall wellbeing. Weight gain, unintentional weight loss or malnutrition can affect your ability to take an active part in life. Our experienced dietitians can work with you to achieve your goal weight.

Dietary advice for different life stages

Depending on your stage of life, you may have different nutritional goals. If you’re younger, you want your diet to support optimal growth and development. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are times when extra nutrients are needed. And as you get older, you want to ensure your diet is providing adequate nutrition for good health. 

Working alongside other specialists to achieve your goals

If you have difficulties with chewing or swallowing, our Dieteticions can work alongside Speech Therapists and Occupational Therapists to ensure mealtimes are safe and enjoyable.

Changing challenging mealtime behaviours

If you’re having a difficult relationship with food, like food refusal, or disordered eating, we can work with you to change the food-related behaviours that stand in the  way of a healthier lifestyle.

Providing education about nutrition

There can be a lot to learn when it comes to food and nutrition. Whether it’s understanding food labels, menu planning, portion sizes, shopping or meal preparation, the more you know the better equipped you are to manage mealtimes independently.

Managing non-oral (tube) feeding

Whatever mealtimes look like for you, meeting your nutritional need goals is our priority. Getting enough vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, fats and essential nutrients to be healthy, along with any medications, can be achieved with proper feeding tube care and management.
