Online appointments
Family-centred support
Practical paediatric nutrition support from home
Families do not always need another appointment that involves travel, waiting rooms and fitting everything around school or work.
Online paediatric dietitian appointments allow us to talk about your child’s usual foods, meal patterns and feeding environment while you are in the place where those routines actually happen.
Child nutrition concerns we can support
Every child arrives with a different story. Our role is to understand what is happening, identify the nutrition priorities and help your family work towards realistic changes.
Eating very few foods
Support for selective eating, food refusal and children who rely heavily on familiar foods.
Growth & weight
Review of intake and growth when appetite, weight gain or nutrition adequacy is a concern.
Digestive symptoms
Nutrition support for constipation, tummy discomfort and recurring gut concerns.
Food restrictions
Help balancing nutrition when allergies, intolerances or other dietary exclusions are involved.
Helping you feel more confident about what your child eats
Parents can spend a lot of time worrying about what is missing from their child’s diet. Sometimes the first useful step is understanding what the foods they already eat are actually providing.
We can look at energy, protein, iron, calcium, fibre and other nutrition needs alongside your child’s appetite, growth and food variety. From there, we focus on the gaps that genuinely matter.
Feeding & food variety
When encouraging another bite is not helping
Some children find eating genuinely difficult. New foods may feel unpredictable, textures may be uncomfortable or familiar foods may feel much safer.
We work with what your child can currently manage and help families move away from battles at the table towards strategies that support nutrition and feeding confidence.
View Fussy Eating SupportWhat online paediatric dietitian support can look like
The appointment is shaped around your child and your concerns. Your child does not need to sit in front of the screen for the entire session, and parents or carers can complete part or all of the discussion where that works better.
Understand what is happening
We talk through eating patterns, feeding history, symptoms, routines, growth and your main concerns.
Identify the nutrition priorities
We work out what needs attention now and what does not need to become another worry.
Make the plan usable
Strategies are based around your child’s real foods, home routine, school day and family circumstances.
Support for neurodivergent children
Sensory preferences, routines, predictability and a strong preference for familiar foods may all influence eating for neurodivergent children.
We use responsive and sensory-aware strategies that recognise your child’s needs rather than relying on forcing, withholding preferred foods or creating unnecessary pressure.
Working with the wider care team
Feeding and nutrition can overlap with medical issues, sensory needs, development and feeding skills.
Where helpful, and with your consent, we can communicate with your child’s GP, paediatrician, occupational therapist, speech pathologist or other health professionals.

Paediatric Dietitian Hobart & Tasmania FAQs
Do you have a paediatric dietitian clinic in Hobart?
Our Hobart and Tasmania paediatric dietitian appointments are provided online. Our physical clinics are located in Queensland, while telehealth allows Tasmanian families to access our paediatric dietitian team from home.
Can you help if I am unsure whether my child is eating enough?
Yes. A dietitian can review your child’s usual intake alongside appetite, available growth information, food variety and health history to identify whether there are areas that may need more attention.
Is online support suitable for fussy eating?
For many families, yes. Telehealth allows us to discuss your child’s usual foods, mealtime routines and feeding environment while you are at home. If another type of assessment is needed, we can discuss that with you.
Can you help with a child who has sensory food preferences?
Yes. We can adapt strategies for sensory preferences, strong food routines and other factors that may affect eating, including for neurodivergent children.
What if my child has both gut symptoms and fussy eating?
These concerns can occur together. Your dietitian can consider digestive symptoms alongside food variety, appetite and nutrition needs rather than treating each issue in isolation.
Can families outside Hobart book an appointment?
Yes. Online paediatric dietitian appointments are available throughout Tasmania, including regional and rural communities.
Do I need a referral?
You can contact our team directly to discuss booking. If you already have a referral from a GP, paediatrician or another professional, you can also submit it through our online referral form.
