The dietetic profession is regulated and meets standards as set by the National Alliance of Self Regulating Health Professions.

Dietitians with the Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) credential commit to 30+ hours of ongoing professional development annually.

Nutritionists are not regulated in Australia or certified under a single regulatory body. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist regardless of their qualifications.

Yes! We practice via telehealth and in-person at Centrehealth Family Clinic on Saturdays. We may offer evening sessions as requested.

A referral is not required, however we do accept NDIS, Eating Plan & Care Plan referrals. We may ask for details of any doctors/specialists involved in your care with your consent, this is because we have a strong multidisciplinary focus at So Foody Dietetics and like to stay up to date with your team.
