Dietitians
Compare local dietitians and book online in seconds.
Dietitians are university-qualified nutrition professionals who help with weight management, diabetes, heart health, gut conditions like IBS, food allergies, eating disorders and sports nutrition. People book them after a GP referral, a new diagnosis, or when they want a structured, evidence-based eating plan instead of another fad. Consultations cover assessment, a personalised plan and follow-up reviews.
On OneBookPlus you can compare local dietitians, check who holds Accredited Practising Dietitian credentials, read reviews from real clients, see consultation fees and book online instantly. Find someone who specialises in your condition and get an appointment without the referral runaround.

List your business, freeHow to choose a good Dietitian
- Look for an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD), the credential recognised by Medicare, DVA and most private health funds.
- Remember 'nutritionist' is not a protected title in Australia; anyone can use it, so check qualifications carefully.
- Choose someone experienced in your specific issue, whether diabetes, IBS, kidney disease, eating disorders or sports performance.
- Check whether they offer Medicare rebates under a chronic disease management plan if your GP has set one up.
- Read reviews for practical, sustainable advice rather than rigid meal plans that clients abandon within weeks.
- Ask about follow-up structure; lasting change usually takes several reviews, not a single appointment.
Questions to ask before you book
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?
In Australia, dietitians complete an accredited university degree including clinical training, and Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) is a credential regulated through Dietitians Australia. 'Nutritionist' is not a protected title, so qualifications vary from degrees to short online courses. Medicare, DVA and most private health funds only pay rebates for services from an APD.
Do I need a referral to see a dietitian?
No, you can book directly for a private appointment. A GP referral under a chronic disease management plan is only needed if you want Medicare rebates, which cover part of up to five allied health visits per calendar year. Eating disorder plans can provide additional rebated dietetic sessions. Private health extras claims need no referral.
Can a dietitian help me lose weight?
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons Australians book. An APD will assess your eating patterns, medical history and lifestyle, then build a realistic plan you can maintain, rather than a restrictive diet. Expect gradual targets, regular reviews and adjustments. Many also work alongside GPs where medication or other supports are involved.
