Our Accredited Practising Dietitians (NDIS registered) offer a person centred approach and tailor treatment to the individual’s needs, preferences and goals. The first appointment with one of our dietitians will involve a nutrition assessment, using appropriate assessment tools and management processes eg anthropometric assessment, growth parameters and will involve determining the client’s health priorities. This assessment is designed to diagnose and prepare a suitable treatment plan that will take into account the person’s age, abilities, co-morbidities, injuries (acute or rehab), budget and communication skills. As treatment continues the dietitian will continue to assess for interactions, side effects and impact of medications, food and thickeners commonly used by those with a disability.
 

Our dietitians are able to work with those living with intellectual impairment, behavioural disturbances and mental health co-morbidities and are able to assess the capacity and capability of the person and their carers to follow the dietetic recommendations. The Dietitian will adjust their communication and education strategies to accommodate each client’s needs.
