CONSULTANT DIETITIANS
NUTRITIONAL COUNSELLORS

The Perth Diet Clinic has professionally qualified dietitians who consult on both an individual basis, as well as to industry and business. These accredited dietitians can help you with a weight or cholesterol problem, give advice on food services, or give lectures as required. We can also help with nutritional queries and information, and assist you with a wide range of nutrition and food related health problems.

We have a number of consulting venues across the metropolitan area, and offer professional advice to individuals and corporations, and if you are not able to get into one of our consulting venues, we now offer online consultations.

Book an Appointment or arrange an Online Consultation.

We keep our site up to date with a collection of health and nutrition tips, recipes and cooking tips and other articles of interest. The most recent articles are displayed on this page, but previous articles and tips are always available by following the links to the appropriate sections.

It is worth noting that you can obtain a rebate from your health fund for most dietitian services, but this will depend on which health fund you belong to, and the level of cover you have. In addition, some health funds will require you to obtain a verbal or written referral from your Doctor. If you are in doubt about whether you can obtain a rebate, or whether you require a referral to obtain a rebate, please contact your health fund directly.
