NDIS Services
We offer a comprehensive range of assessments and services, tailored to the unique needs of NDIS participants who are Self Managed or Plan Managed. Our team has over a decade of combined experience in providing various nutritional supports to NDIS participants, we therefore understand the complexities of navigating the NDIS and how to best advocate for our participants.
NDIS services
Clinic Visits
We have a warm, welcoming and comfortable clinic in Geelong where we offer face-to-face consultations and practical food preparation and cooking sessions.
Home Visits
Dietitian home visits are offered to improve accessibility for participants who cannot come into the clinic. Home visits can also help your dietitian to comprehensively assess and address home-based barriers to achieving your goals. Practical meal preparation or cooking session provided at home may be easier for clients to replicate due to familiarity with the environment and equipment.
Telehealth Consultations
For convenience, Dietitian consultations can be provided by telehealth or phone call.
Training Sessions for support teams
We provide various training sessions for participants, support workers and parents/caregivers. We love providing training sessions to empower you and the team around you to deliver you optimal nutrition care!
More specifically, we predominantly deliver training sessions for support workers on the specific dietary support required for participants that have been diagnosed with certain conditions. Some examples of trainings we have previously run include; gluten free diet for someone diagnosed with Coeliac Disease, dietary education for Type 2 Diabetes, texture modified diets (delivered alongside a Speech Pathologist). We also deliver trainings on tube feeding, including a practical element ie for a blenderised tube fed participant we jump into the kitchen with house staff and make a feed together!

Nutrition Assessments: Under the NDIS framework, we offer comprehensive nutrition assessments tailored to the unique needs of individuals with disabilities. Our assessments consider factors such as medical history, lifestyle and dietary preferences.
1
Tailored nutrition guides: We can assist you to develop an eating guide that meets your specific nutrition requirements and aligns with your individual goal. Every person is different, however we do encourage to move away from rigid ‘meal plans’ and encourage flexibility to foster enjoyment of food therefore our focus is on education and creating ‘meal guides’ which encourage choice.
2
Nutrition Education: Education and counselling is offered to participants to assist with making informed choices that align with their goals. Education and guidance can also be provided to support staff to ensure they have the skills and knowledge needed to support participants in meeting their nutrition related goals.
3
Supermarket Visits: Your Dietitian can accompany you on a practical session to your local supermarket. These sessions can assist you with developing skills in meal planning, shopping and budgeting.
4
Practical Meal Preparation and Cooking Sessions: Practical sessions, offered at home or in our clinic, can help you learn the practical skills needed to achieve your nutrition goals.
5
Collaborating with care teams: We pride ourselves on advocating for our clients and collaborating with healthcare providers, therapists, and other important members of the care team to ensure a comprehensive approach to supporting the achievement of nutrition and other health and well-being goals.

Preparing NDIS Reports
Preparation of reports are essential to ensure ongoing funding to meet participant needs. We put considerable effort into ensuring our reports comprehensively outline:
Background information and current situation.
Impact of the diagnosis or disability on nutrition and feeding.
Nutrition and feeding assessment.
How dietetic support assists with achieving nutrition related goals.
Progress towards nutrition related goals.
Strengths and barriers to dietitian therapy.
Justification for provision of dietetic funding from NDIS and participant risk if funding is not made available.
Advocacy for additional, and recommended ongoing, supports from other therapists and team members.
