Nutrition advice that has to work in real family life
Recommendations are only useful if they can fit around your child’s day. That may include breakfast before school, lunchbox foods, after-school hunger, family dinners, childcare meals or foods your child will currently accept.
Your dietitian looks at the full picture and helps you decide what is worth changing now, what can stay as it is and where small adjustments may have the biggest impact.
Paediatric nutrition concerns we commonly support
Children may need dietetic support for one clear issue or several concerns that overlap. We tailor the appointment around what is happening for your child.
Selective or fussy eating
Limited food variety, food refusal, strong preferences and stressful mealtimes.
Growth & poor appetite
Support when growth, weight gain, appetite or overall intake needs closer attention.
Digestive concerns
Nutrition strategies for constipation, tummy pain and ongoing gut symptoms.
Food allergies & intolerances
Planning around excluded foods while protecting growth, nutrition and food variety.
Support can look different for every child
One family may need help increasing energy intake. Another may need a plan for constipation, lunchbox foods or a very restricted diet. Some families simply want reassurance that their child is getting enough from the foods they currently eat.
Feeding support for children who find food difficult
For some children, eating is affected by sensory preferences, predictability, anxiety, previous feeding experiences or a strong need for familiar foods.
Rather than creating more pressure around meals, we look at what your child can currently manage and build from there. Strategies can be adapted for neurodivergent children and children with sensory feeding differences.

Paediatric dietitian appointments from home in Melbourne and Victoria
Telehealth can make paediatric appointments easier to fit around school, childcare, work and other health appointments. You can join from home and have familiar foods, packaging, supplements or lunchbox items nearby if they are useful to discuss.
Parents can talk openly
Depending on age and needs, your child does not have to participate in every part of the appointment.
Use what you already have
We can discuss familiar foods, usual meals, product labels and routines without asking you to recreate them elsewhere.
Follow-up stays practical
Progress can be reviewed over time and strategies adjusted as your child’s needs, confidence and routines change.
Looking beyond whether a child eats vegetables
A child’s nutrition is about much more than how many different foods they eat. We consider energy, protein, iron, calcium, fibre and other nutrients alongside appetite, growth and the foods they currently accept.
This helps us focus on the areas that actually matter for your child instead of giving you a generic list of foods they “should” be eating.

Paediatric Dietitian Melbourne & Victoria FAQs
Are your Melbourne paediatric dietitian appointments online?
Yes. Our paediatric dietitian service for Melbourne and Victoria is provided by telehealth. Our physical clinics are located in Queensland, while online appointments allow Victorian families to work with our paediatric dietitian team from home.
What ages do your paediatric dietitians work with?

Yes. We can adapt nutrition and feeding strategies for sensory preferences, predictability, routines and other factors that may influence eating for neurodivergent children.

Do you see families in regional Victoria?

Can my child's other health professionals be involved?
