Paediatric nutrition support without needing to travel far
Accessing specialist services can be difficult when appointments involve long distances, time away from school or work, or limited local availability.
Telehealth gives families in Darwin and across the Northern Territory another way to access paediatric dietitian support from home.
What we can help you work through
Your child may have one clear nutrition issue or several concerns that overlap. We focus on the areas that are most relevant to their health, feeding and family life.
Very limited food variety
Selective eating, food refusal and strong reliance on a small group of preferred foods.
Low appetite or growth concerns
Support when your child eats small amounts, gains weight slowly or growth needs closer review.
Constipation & gut symptoms
Nutrition strategies that consider digestive symptoms alongside the foods your child can manage.
Allergies & dietary restrictions
Help maintaining nutrition when particular foods need to be avoided or replaced.
Feeding support when familiar foods feel safest
Some children rely heavily on familiar foods and find changes to texture, smell, appearance or routine difficult.
We consider what may be contributing and help families work towards realistic feeding goals without creating unnecessary pressure around food.
View Fussy Eating SupportHow an online paediatric dietitian appointment works
The appointment focuses on your child’s current needs. We review the information that matters, work out the priorities and build a plan that is realistic for your home and family circumstances.
1
Tell us what you are seeing
We discuss eating patterns, symptoms, feeding history, routines and available growth information.
2
Work out the priorities
We identify what needs attention now and what can be addressed gradually over time.
3
Turn it into practical steps
Your plan is built around your child’s actual foods, daily routine and family circumstances.
Looking at nutrition before trying to change everything
A child with a restricted diet may still be getting more nutrition than it appears, while another child may have gaps that need attention sooner.
We review what your child is actually eating and consider areas such as energy, protein, iron, calcium, fibre and food variety before deciding what changes are worth focusing on.
Support for neurodivergent children
Sensory preferences, routines, predictability and strong food preferences can all influence eating for neurodivergent children.
We use responsive, sensory-aware strategies and work with your child’s current strengths rather than relying on pressure or rigid expectations.
