We are passionate about inclusive and accessible nutrition care
As an inclusive nutrition clinic, we take great pride in delivering accessible and considerate food and nutrition services to those living with a disability. We believe that people of all abilities deserve access to nutrition care that considers not only their physical health, but also their emotional, social and mental health. With an emphasis on skill-building and nutrition awareness, our NDIS Dietitians aim to help their clients work towards their wellbeing goals.

- / Malnutrition & poor appetite
