FAQs

What is the difference between a nutritionist and dietitian?

“Dietitian” is a protected term that only registered health professionals can use. “Nutritionist” is not a protected term, so anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. Dietitians have studied medical nutrition therapy at a university level and have received a undergraduate degree or higher in Dietetics. Our dietitians have completed undergraduate degrees in nutrition as well as dietetics and are therefore nutritionists and accredited dietitians.

Do I need to bring anything with me to my appointment?

Before your appointment: Once you have made an appointment, we will send you a new patient form which we will get you to fill in online before your first appointment.

On the day: Please bring any referrals from your doctors and any relevant blood tests you have had done with you to your appointment.  It is always helpful when patients bring a list of any medications or supplements they are taking as well as a food diary for the past 3-7 days.

Do I need a referral to see a dietitian?

No, Dietitians do not require referrals from doctors. However, if your doctor has referred you, please bring this paperwork with you.

How many appointments will I need?

This will depend on your nutrition assessment and what you require support with. At your initial appointment, your dietitian will give you an  guide as to how often you will need to be reviewed. For digestive issues and food intolerances, please allow at least 3 visits.

Do you do allergy testing?

Allergy testing must be conducted by a medical doctor or practice nurse so as Dietitians, we are unable to perform these tests. The Dietitians at Nutrition Wisdom do not perform allergy blood or skin prick tests however we can recommend allergy testing clinics and help you to manage any food allergy you have been diagnosed with.

Do you see children?

We are happy to see highschool aged children and young adults for food intolerance services such as IBS. For under 12 children we can recommend a paediatric dietitian to you.
