Older people have a higher risk of poor nutrition due to age-related decrease in digestive function, reduced taste sensation, use of medications, chronic disease, reduced mobility and ability for self-care.  We provide nutrition and dietetic services to assist in prevention of, and reversing malnutrition, chronic disease management and dietary management strategies in improving quality of life. 

Our Dietitians are qualified and experienced in advising aged care facilities on nutrition-related matters for residents, food service provision and staff training. They have the clinical training to modify diets and to treat conditions such as unintentional weight loss, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, gastrointestinal disorders and food allergies and intolerances.
