Nutrition and Dietetics

We empower people from all walks of life to take control of their health and enjoy their food.

What we do

Our qualified dietitian provides nutrition advice to suit your individual cooking skills, budget, lifestyle and personal preferences. Through individual appointments and in a group setting, we help you learn how to manage your health and dietary needs. We work closely with you and your care team so that you have the best care.

The dietitian works with other Alpine Health professionals and private providers to deliver group education, including the PACE Program.

We provide a free service, with no need for a referral, to the following people who will benefit from seeing a dietitian including;

• People with heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, IBS (intolerances, allergies) and cancer
• Those who have been unwell and lost weight without meaning to (especially the elderly)
