About us

Nutrition & Dietetics is a dynamic team focused on providing high quality nutrition for Austin Health patients and our community.

Our team has around 30 dietitians. We provide a 7 day service at Austin Hospital, Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital and Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre.

We are closely involved in food service, education and training, research and quality improvement:

• Nutrition and dietetic students - we are a core teaching hospital for dietetic students from Deakin University and Swinburne University, and provide clinical tutorials, lectures and placements throughout the year.
• Health professionals -  we are involved in many continuing education programmes and are an integral part of many nursing and medical courses.
• Research - we are involved in multiple research activities, both within the department and in conjunction with other departments, hospitals and universities.
