The Nutrition and Dietetic Service
offers individual consultations to patients
referred by Specialists, General Practitioners
and Allied Health Care Providers as well as
those patients who refer themselves.
The
Nutrition and Dietetic Service focuses on
holistic, integrated and expressive health
care, with the ultimate aim of focusing on the
treatment of cause, rather than simply the
treatment of patient symptoms alone.
The focus
is on nutrition education and counselling as
part of a holistic and complementary approach
to health.
Rather than
handing out ‘generic diets’, the service seeks
to work with patients to determine appropriate
and sustainable nutritional goals, implement
individually-tailored nutrition and
supplementation care plans that are specific
to the patient’s individual needs and genetic
constitution.

Dietitians can assist people who:
- Would like to know more about
nutrition and healthy eating for optimal health
or
- Are suffering from an illness or a
range of unexplained symptoms contributing to
dysfunction and may benefit from individually
tailored, strategic, dietary
intervention.
