What is NDIS Dietetics?

NDIS Dietetics involves the support of an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) to address the unique nutritional needs of people with disability. This goes beyond general healthy eating advice. We manage complex feeding issues, food allergies and intolerances, weight challenges, nutrient deficiencies, and feeding tubes. Our dietitians create practical, individualised strategies to ensure optimal nutrition supports your overall health, well-being, and ability to participate in daily life.

What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?

All dietitians are nutritionists, but not all nutritionists are dietitians. An Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) is a university-qualified professional, regulated by a national body, and is the only title recognised by the NDIS and Medicare. APDs are trained to treat clinical conditions, unlike nutritionists.




How do I know if I am eligible for NDIS Dietetics?

To access NDIS-funded dietetics, you must be an approved NDIS participant. Your plan needs to include funding for this service, which is typically found underCapacity Building - Improved Health and WellbeingorImproved Daily Living Skills. If you have this funding, you can use it to book our services.


Can a dietitian help with extremely fussy eating?

Yes, this is a core area of practice. We specialise in managing Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), sensory food aversions, and other causes of limited food intake, using responsive and practical strategies to safely expand food variety.




Do you help with tube feeding?

Absolutely. We are experts in enteral nutrition. We can calculate your specific formula requirements, monitor for tolerance, troubleshoot issues like diarrhoea or bloating, and provide guidance on blended tube feeding, ensuring all safety protocols are followed.



Do you come to my home?

Yes, we offer mobile services. In-home visits are incredibly valuable for conducting kitchen assessments, reviewing food cupboards, and providing practical cooking and meal preparation training in your own environment.








Can you help me with weight loss?

Yes, but our approach is holistic and health-focused. We help manage weight that is impacting your health or mobility, especially when it's related to a disability, medication, or limited mobility. We focus on sustainable strategies, not fad diets.

How do I book an appointment?

You can book easily by clicking the "Book Now" button on this page or calling our clinic directly. Please have your NDIS number ready. We will discuss your needs, confirm your NDIS funding details, and match you with our dietitian.




Will you talk to my support workers?

Yes, with your consent, we actively collaborate with your support team. We can provide training and simple guidelines for your support workers to help them implement your nutritional strategies during mealtimes, shopping, and meal preparation.

In their words

What Families Have to Say

"My support worker, Sarah, has been an absolute lifesaver. She helps with my daily routine, from meal prep to getting to appointments on time, and even takes me on short walks to the park. Sarah is patient and really listens to what I need. I’m so grateful for the support she provides – I feel more confident knowing she’s there."
Emily T, Brunswick, Melbourne
"We hired a gardener from Beyond Health Services, and Jason has completely transformed our backyard. He removed the weeds, trimmed the hedges, and even installed a vegetable garden that my wife and I have been enjoying. The space looks so much better, and we couldn’t be happier with his attention to detail."
Jason M, St Albans, Melbourne
"The cleaning service from Beyond continues to impress us. Every corner of our home gets attention – they even scrubbed out stains from the carpets that we thought would never come out. I always look forward to coming home to a fresh, spotless house after their visit. Their reliability is what sets them apart."
Sophia R, Sunshine West, Melbourne
"I’m so grateful for Liam, the driver who takes my father to his medical appointments. Liam is always on time, helps my dad in and out of the car, and even waits with him at the doctor’s office. It’s reassuring to know my dad is in such capable hands when I can’t be there myself."
Adam G, Windsor, Melbourne
"These guys sent over a fantastic speech therapist to help my son with his communication challenges. Kate was incredibly patient, using fun and interactive techniques to get him to open up. In just a few weeks, we’ve seen a noticeable improvement in his speech, and he’s more confident in expressing himself. We’re so thankful for Kate’s expertise and warmth."
Sarah W, Werribee, Melbourne
