NDIS-Funded Nutrition Support in Melbourne
Advice That Actually Works for You
A Dietitian To Fit Your Needs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my NDIS funding for a dietitian?
Yes - most of the time! If food, nutrition, or eating impacts your daily life, health, or independence, your NDIS plan may cover dietetic support under Improved Daily Living (Capacity Building) or Improved Health and Wellbeing (Capacity Building).
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
You don’t need a GP referral to see us through your NDIS plan. You can reach out directly or ask your Support Coordinator to send through a referral. We’ll sort out the rest.
What happens in the first session?
We usually start with a chat to get to know you - what you eat, what’s tricky, and what health goals matter to you.
From there, we can do an assessment, develop a nutrition plan, or start working on things like food fortification, mealtime routines, or food budgeting. It’s very personalised and we go at your pace.
Can you help train my support workers?
Absolutely. We regularly provide training to support workers, family, or SIL staff around mealtime support, tube feeding, food safety, and sensory needs.
This can be included in your plan and often helps everyone feel more confident.
I’ve had a bad experience with food and diets - will this feel like that?
We hear this often. Our approach is the opposite of restrictive or weight-focused. We work with you, not against you, and we never push nutrition plans that don’t suit your life.
There are no harsh food rules, no judgment, and no pressure.
