Your first appointment gives your dietitian time to understand your nutrition needs, disability-related challenges, daily routines and personal goals.

The assessment may consider:

• current food and fluid intake

• medical and nutrition history

• medications and relevant health information

• appetite and eating patterns

• sensory preferences or food aversions

• ability to shop, prepare and cook food

• nutritional adequacy and risk of malnutrition

• gastrointestinal concerns where relevant

• mealtime routines and support needs

• your NDIS goals

• current family, carer and support arrangements.

After the assessment, your dietitian will discuss suitable recommendations and the next steps with you.

​

 

 

Where required, our dietitians can prepare reports relating to your dietetic assessment, progress and ongoing nutrition support needs.

​

Depending on your circumstances, reports may include:

• Initial assessment findings

A summary of relevant nutrition concerns, functional barriers and recommended nutrition strategies.

• Progress reports

Information about the dietetic support provided, progress toward nutrition-related goals and outcomes achieved.

• Plan reassessment reports

Where appropriate, a report outlining progress, ongoing disability-related nutrition needs and recommendations that may assist with an NDIS plan reassessment.

​

Important: Report preparation may require funded dietitian time. We will discuss this with you before preparing a report.

The 2026–27 NDIS pricing schedule specifically includes dietitian items for NDIA Requested Reports as well as direct service, telehealth, non-face-to-face work and provider travel.

​​

​

​

• With the participant's consent, our dietitians can communicate with relevant members of their support network, including support coordinators, plan managers, carers, family members and other treating health professionals.

• Collaboration may help ensure that nutrition recommendations are practical, understood by the people providing day-to-day support and aligned with the participant's goals.

• Where appropriate, this may include:

• Support coordinators updates about dietetic goals, progress and recommended supports.

• Plan managers  - invoicing and required billing information.

• Carers and support workers - practical guidance for implementing nutrition strategies.

• Other health professionals - coordinated care where nutrition needs overlap with other clinical support.
