Your comfort

We want to set a new benchmark within the nutrition and dietetic industry. We have gone to great lengths through ambience, design and aesthetics to ensure our practice fosters the right environment ensuring our patients feel welcome and comfortable within our clinic and an outcome of this is capturing critical information to ensure we can give you the best level of care possible. We’ve also developed our own educational resources including presentations, handouts and audiovisuals to ensure our patients are offered the most up-to-date scientific information as part of their nutrition education and counselling.

Your consultation

We ensure our patients receive the maximum amount of time for their consult. We allow 1 hour for an initial consultation and 30 minutes for a review. You will find most dietitians only allow 40 minutes for an initial and 15-20 minutes for a review. We achieve this using technology and systems to send our patients in-take forms to capture our client’s medical history, general details, medications, physical activity and a 3-day food diary. Our Dietitians are able to do a full nutritional analysis prior to the initial consultation to allow more valued time with their patients.

In body scan
Australian Dietitian offers premium body composition analysis using the InBody 770.

Maximising muscle mass and decreasing fat mass are key indicators of healthy changes to your body composition that don’t necessarily show up on a basic set of scales. A comprehensive scan of your body composition is the best method to track positive changes and measure the effectiveness of your nutrition and exercise strategies.
