If you’re looking for dietetic support through your NDIS plan, you’re in the right place.

Signs You Could Benefit From an NDIS Dietitian

You might be in the right place if any of these sound familiar:

Mealtimes feel stressful or unsafe — whether that's due to swallowing concerns, texture needs, or food refusal
You or someone you support has experienced unexplained weight changes or bowel issues that aren't improving
You're relying on tube feeding and need a plan that keeps up with changing needs
A support worker or carer wants guidance on meal prep, food safety, or nutrition routines
You want to build more independence around food — shopping, cooking, choosing what to eat

What Your NDIS Dietitian Can Help With

Our dietitians help a wide variety of NDIS participants achieve their goals – from everyday nutrition to more complex situations.

Mealtime management and dysphagia support — Mealtimes should feel safe and enjoyable. Your dietitian assesses mealtime safety using the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) framework, prescribes texture-modified diets, and works with your speech pathologist to design a plan that suits you.
Nutrition education and capacity building — Hands-on nutrition education builds long-term independence. This covers food preparation, grocery shopping on a budget, label reading, and healthy eating strategies. Your dietitian also supports caregivers, support workers, and Supported Independent Living (SIL) staff with training around mealtime support, tube feeding, and food safety.
Clinical nutrition for complex health conditions — Our dietitians are experienced in managing kidney disease, food allergies, disordered eating, mental health conditions, gastrointestinal issues, and chronic diseases that affect nutrient absorption. Your care plan addresses supplementation, balanced diet strategies, and prevention — always focused on better health and improved quality of life.
Weight, bowel management, and enteral feeding — Unexplained weight changes and bowel concerns are common — and with personalised dietetic support, most participants see real improvement. For those using enteral feeding (tube feeding), your dietitian prepares a plan with ongoing adjustments and collaborates with your healthcare team to keep nutrition aligned with evolving needs.

How We Work

step # 1

Assessment

Your first appointment usually goes for 60 to 90 minutes. Your dietitian gets to know you — what you eat, what’s tricky, and what goals matter to you. We review your diet, medical history, living situation, and the barriers you face.

step # 2

Your Starting Point

Together, you agree on what to focus on first. That might be a structured nutrition plan, a single behaviour change, or simply understanding your condition better. Your situation shapes what comes next — there’s no cookie-cutter approach.

step # 3

Tools & Support

Your dietitian gives you what you actually need to follow through. That could be cooking demonstrations, nutritional counselling, supermarket tours, food fortification, visual meal guides, or training for your support team — all personalised, all at your pace.

step # 4

Ongoing Review

Regular reviews track your progress, symptoms, energy, and health markers. Before your NDIS plan review, we prepare a detailed report documenting outcomes and recommending future funding. We update the approach as your needs change.
