Dietitian Jobs in Australia

A dietitian (sometimes spelled 'dietician') is a person who is qualified to give professional dietary advice. This may include general advice on maintaining good health, specific advice for people suffering from particular medical complaints, such as diabetes, or advice for people such as athletes who are aiming for a particular, narrower definition of 'good health' or 'fitness'. Dietitians also develop programmes of healthy eating for all the above.

There is also a more academic side to working as a dietitian, involving research into healthy eating and diets in general. This involves less of the 'hands-on' aspect of the job, including talking to patients and addressing their individual needs. Many dietitians do some or both of the above, either simultaneously or at different points during their careers. Some dietitians also do media, public relations and publicity work, as well as other types of general education, training and advice. As such, as a dietitian, you can expect some variety in your working life, as well as the possibility of taking very different career paths: Perfect for anyone who likes to keep their options open.
