FAQ

There are many differences between a dietitian and nutritionist.

A dietitian, or an Accredited Practising Dietitian, is a tertiary-qualified professional who helps you achieve optimal health by providing scientific evidence-based nutritional advice. Their role is to provide you with an individualised nutrition assessment, nutrition diagnosis, dietary education, and monitor and evaluate your outcomes. A dietitian may work in hospitals, community centres, or public health and general practices.

A nutritionist is a professional who helps you achieve optimal health by providing evidence-based health and food advice. They can provide a range of nutrition services related to public health, policy and research, and community health. Whilst they are usually tertiary qualified, there is no industry specific authority that assesses the qualifications of nutritionists who are not dieticians.
