What is an Accredited Practising Dietitian?

Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) are university-qualified nutrition professionals that help manage a range of health conditions using medical nutrition therapy. They understand how nutrition affects the body and will give you expert nutrition and dietary advice to help you achieve your health and wellbeing goals.

 

They continue to undertake regular nutrition training and education to make sure they are up-to-date with the latest evidence to help you sort fact from fiction. Dietitians are the only nutrition professionals recognised by the Australian Government and Medicare as they are your most credible source of nutrition information. 

Why is Nutrition Important?

Nutrition is essential for maintaining optimal health and well-being, as it provides the body with the necessary nutrients to function effectively.  Nutrition and a therapeutic diet indirectly affects all aspects of a person's life by influencing physical health, mental well-being, and daily functioning.  For those with disabilities, proper nutrition can help to manage managing symptoms and mood, enhance the effectiveness of other allied health interventions (such as physiotherapy), improve social interactions (especially during mealtimes) and ultimately fuels the body with energy so participants can engage in activities of their choosing. While poor nutrition can impair cognitive functioning, exacerbate chronic conditions, increase levels of fatigue and mood disorders, and physical limitations which can impact work, social life, and overall quality of life. In essence, good nutrition creates a solid foundation for all aspects of life and is the is key to optimising health.
