Food is personal and practical.
An Accredited Practising Dietitian assesses nutritional intake, health, routines, food access and the disability-related barriers that affect eating well. Recommendations are tailored to the person, their preferences, communication, supporters and real-world environment.
Evidence-informed advice adapted to ability, preferences, routines and support needs.
Support that connects clinical expertise with everyday goals.
We begin with the person’s strengths, preferences, environments and what they want life to make easier. Assessment guides a practical plan that can be understood, used and reviewed.
Meet nutrition needs more reliably
Assessment explores current nutritional needs and how they can be met more reliably, including existing strengths, barriers and available supports.
Improve energy for daily activities
Practical strategies for improve energy for daily activities are shaped around the person’s preferences, routines and everyday environments.
Making meal planning manageable
Sessions build toward make meal planning manageable through relevant practice, useful supports and collaboration with the people involved.
Support growth and development
Growth and development is measured through meaningful changes in daily life, with support adjusted as needed.

Easy Read guide
A plain-English guide to Dietitian and NDIS support.
What is the difference between a dietitian and a speech pathologist at mealtimes?
A dietitian assesses nutrition and develops strategies to meet nutritional needs. A speech pathologist assesses swallowing safety and may recommend food textures or fluid thickness. They often collaborate.
Will I be given a restrictive meal plan?
Recommendations should be personalised, practical and developed with you. The aim is to support nutrition and participation while respecting preferences, culture, capacity and clinical needs.
Do I need a referral?
You can contact Bloom directly. If you have an NDIS plan, our team can also work with your support coordinator, plan manager or other treating professionals.
Where are appointments held?
We primarily support people at home and in the community, with telehealth available when clinically appropriate. Clinic appointments may be available case by case.
Can Bloom work with my existing support team?
Yes. With your consent, we can collaborate with family, support workers, educators and other clinicians so strategies are practical and consistent.
How do I know whether my NDIS plan can fund this service?
Funding depends on your plan and whether the support relates to your disability, goals and approved budget. Our team can discuss your situation, but only the NDIA or your plan manager can confirm funding.
