WHAT IS A DIETITIAN?
A professional who applies the science of food and nutrition to promote health, prevent and treat disease to optimise the health of individuals, groups, communities and populations.
Definition of Dietitian-Nutritionist, ICDA By-Law
– September 2016
In Australia, dietitians are universally qualified health professionals, and must undertake ongoing professional development and education.
A dietitian in Australia will have undertaken a course of study (usually a Masters Degree) that included substantial theory and supervised and assessed professional practice in clinical nutrition, medical nutrition therapy & food service management.
To practice as a dietitian in Australia, a dietitian must become an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD). This is a public guarantee of nutrition and dietetic expertise, and is the only credential recognised by the Australian Government, Medicare, the Department of Veterans Affairs and most private health funds as the quality standard for nutrition and dietetics services in Australia.
Throughout their career, APDs must undertake a mentorship and maintain continued professional learning to ensure they are keeping up to date with research developments and health awareness.
