Nutrition Advisor

A Nutrition Advisor provides advice to clients in accordance with the Australian Dietary Guidelines.

Note: The Australian Dietary Guidelines apply to all healthy Australians, as well as those with common health conditions such as being overweight. They do not apply to people who need special dietary advice for a medical condition, or to the frail elderly. The Advisor will refer clients to medical and allied health professionals for advice that falls outside their scope of practice.
