What is the difference between a Nutritionist & Dietitian?

There is a distinct difference between Nutritionists and Dietitians in Australia. While both occasionally offer similar services, a Dietitian is qualified to offer further, more specialised, services to clients. A Nutritionist is a nutritional professional, with a tertiary qualification, that provides a range of evidence-based services in nutrition, public health, policy, research and community health. They are not governed by an industry body in the same way a Dietitian would be.

A Dietitian is able to provide each of the services a Nutritionist offers but are able to add additional services on top of those. This includes individual dietary counselling, group dietary therapy, medical nutrition therapy, and food service management. Dietitians have conducted a rigorous course of study that has provided them with a higher degree of knowledge and experience than a Nutritionist. Dietitians are also governed by the Dietitians Association of Australia, meaning they are regularly scrutinised to ensure that there is a high level of professionalism and service. 

The Inner Health team are all highly qualified, accredited Dietitians, allowing us to provide you with the highest level of service possible. We take an evidence-based approach to help our clients manage their intolerances and sensitivities, their gut health, and to lose weight.  

Commonly asked questions

Why Should I See A Dietitian?

You may want to see a dietitian if you have been referred to by a doctor or you can self refer if you experience:  

  • Significant weight change 
  • A newly diagnosed chronic disease or health concern
  • Signs that your chronic illness is not being managed effectively 
  • Poor appetite, poor food intake, or difficulty eating
  • A difficult or stressful relationship with food

If you experience symptoms of chronic illness such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Coeliac Disease, Crohn’s Disease, or Ulcerative Colitis, you may also wish to see a dietitian.

What is Your Cancellation Policy?

We believe that failure to attend your arranged appointment without 24 hours’ notice is unfair to both other patients and a waste of your practitioner’s time. To ensure that we are providing the best service to each of our patients we require that you provide a 24 business hours’ notice if you are unable to make a scheduled appointment. If you fail to provide enough notice you will incur an $85 fee. We do understand that in exceptional circumstances, this may not be possible, and we are always happy to make exceptions at such times.
