Dietitians Australia is the peak body for nutrition and dietetic professionals, representing more than 9000 members in Australia and overseas.

As the leading voice in nutrition and dietetics, our mission is to champion the professional nutrition and dietetic workforce to empower people and communities.

We help build healthier communities by promoting and communicating credible and timely nutrition messages to the public. Through our advocacy efforts, we work collaboratively with all stakeholders to shape policies across sectors. To improve the health and well-being of Australians, we campaign for the nutrition and dietetic profession, healthcare system improvements and healthy food systems.

As the peak body, we facilitate and uphold the regulatory requirements for our members as stipulated by the Dietitian and Nutritionist Regulatory Council. We also support the evidence-based practice of our members through the provision of educational resources, world-class events and continuing professional development opportunities.

The ‘Accredited Practising Dietitian’ credential is awarded by Dietitians Australia, signifying that a professional is a qualified and registered dietitian within the association and have met the necessary standards to provide expert nutrition and dietetic advice in Australia.

The Dietitians Australia Board, committees, staff and members, including Accredited Practising Dietitians, are expected to embody the values of Dietitians Australia in their professional practice.
