Dietitians and Nutritionists for Children

Nourish & Thrive offers individualised assessment, education, and ongoing support for nutrition for a wide range of needs, both children and adults. 


Each of our dietitians has particular specialty areas and experience to offer. When you call to book an appointment, we will help you be matched with the dietitian best suited to your needs.

How we help children

Our paediatric dietitians are highly skilled and all have received training from some of the largest paediatric centres in Australia including the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne and Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick. They love working with both children and their families to build positive and joyful relationships with mealtimes and eating, whether your child eats by mouth or through a feeding tube.


We take a very careful and considered, trauma-informed approach to exploring childhood nutrition, to make sure that children feel safe and supported at all times. Sometimes this means working with parents alone, particularly when there is a weight concern or high stress meal times.
