General FAQ

Answers to the who, what and where questions

What a great question and the most common source of confusion. In Australia, all Dietitians are Nutritionists as part of their four to six-year university degree and as a result, can also call themselves Accredited Nutritionists. Unfortunately, the term “Nutritionist” is not regulated in Australia and can be used by anyone including those with very limited or no formal qualifications in nutrition which can put your health at risk. Look for this logo as a guarantee of training as a Nutritionist.

Dietitians have completed a further 18 months to 2 years of training at university as a Master’s degree. As a result of this further specialised training, Dietitians are the only nutrition professionals in Australia that can see patients in hospitals, under Medicare, the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (DVA), the Australian Defence Force and NDIS. That says a lot about our high level of skills and training. Our Dietitians at Dietwise are both Accredited Practising Dietitians and Accredited Nutritionists, so you can trust you are under the care of the most highly qualified nutrition specialists in Australia.
