Good nutrition shouldn't depend on getting to a clinic
For many people, getting to an appointment is the hardest part of getting help — because of age, disability, mobility, or a care routine that doesn't bend around a clinic's opening hours.
Meanwhile the problems that need a dietitian keep building: meals getting smaller, weight changing without anyone planning it, texture-modified food that is hard to get right, or a health condition that has to be managed around medications and support workers.
Our dietitians come to you — at home, in supported accommodation or in residential aged care — assess what actually happens at mealtimes, and put a plan in place that the person, their family and their support team can all follow.
✓ We come to you - no no waiting rooms
✓ Written reports after every assessment
✓ Families and carers welcome at every visit
✓ Support at Home, DVA and NDIS

HOW WE HELP
Every plan starts with the person, not the diagnosis
Weight that is changing without a plan
Unplanned weight loss in older age, or weight gain from medications and reduced mobility. We screen with validated tools such as the PG-SGA and build a plan to get intake, weight and strength back on track.
Mealtime management plans
For people at risk when eating or drinking — texture-modified food and fluids (IDDSI), positioning and assistance — written so every support worker and carer can follow them at every meal. We work alongside the speech pathologist who assesses swallowing.
Support worker and carer guidance
Meal plans, shopping lists and practical guidance for the people who actually shop and cook, so the plan survives a change of roster.
Health conditions at home
Diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, wound healing and disability-related nutrition needs, managed around the person's appetite and routine rather than a textbook diet.
Residential Aged Care
Resident assessments, mealtime observation and menu review to support Standard 6 (Food and nutrition) of the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards.
Funding related reporting
NDIS progress reports for plan reviews, care plans for aged care providers, and letters to the GP — so the person's supports are backed by clear clinical evidence.
What your first visit looks like
1
Get set up
Before the first visit we confirm how it will be funded. Private clients sign a short agreement covering fees, cancellations and privacy — the person or someone holding their Power of Attorney can sign. Funded clients need a provider agreement with their coordinator, which we arrange.
2
The home visit
We take a full history — weight changes, appetite, medical background, medications, what a normal day of eating looks like — and, where it helps, observe a meal. For some patients, this includes a PG-SGA assessment to determine frailty and malnutrition risks.
3
A plan the whole team can use
You receive a small number of specific changes, not a folder of handouts. A written report goes to your care team, and review visits track what is working and adjust what is not. We arrange follow-up visits at times that suit you.
