Food, nutrition and dietetics

Three adults prepare a healthy meal

We support your health and wellbeing with practical food and nutrition advice.

The Dietetics team at Your Community Health are Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) – experts in nutrition.

We provide food and nutrition advice to help you:

  • choose nourishing food and meals for your health needs
  • shop, cook and eat well
  • be a healthy bodyweight, right for you
  • prevent or manage a variety of health conditions through food.

We help you to make changes and reach goals that are important to you.

For children

We work with babies, children and teenagers, from 0 to 18 years and their families to build eating and feeding skills. This is important for children to grow and learn.

These skills are also help create positive meal times for families and supporting children’s health and wellbeing in later life.

We will start with an appointment with you and your child to assess their feeding skills and nutrition needs. We will work with you to make practical food suggestions. We work closely with other child and family service providers to promote nutrition and feeding goals for your child’s overall growth and development.

Other helpful resources:

  • Information about the roles of parents and children at mealtimes
  • Healthy lunchbox tips: Pick and mix lunchbox poster

For people living with chronic disease

We help people living with chronic disease such as diabetes, heart disease, mental health or chronic lung conditions to help them better manage their long-term health.

We focus on providing support about health and eating behaviours so that you can better manage your health independently. We work closely with your healthcare team to support your overall health needs.

For older adults and seniors

Ageing has effects on your health, wellbeing and eating. We think about your health needs and provide practical ideas of how to access food and preparing meals. We can also link you to social support groups to assist in maintaining your health and enjoyment of food.

For people living with disability

Your Community Health dietitians provides support for people living with disability though the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Contact us for more information.

Fees

Fees are assessed based on your income or funding eligibility. Free or low cost services are available for many community members. Speak to us to find out more.
