Dietetics
Dietetics in Wollongong
Joint Vision dietetics provides practical, evidence-informed nutrition support for musculoskeletal recovery, healthy ageing, bone and muscle health, weight management and medical conditions that influence movement and recovery.
Direct access
A GP or specialist referral is not usually needed for a private dietetics appointment.
Personalised assessment
The first visit considers health history, current intake, symptoms, medications, goals, activity and the practical realities of daily life.
Connected care
Nutrition support can be coordinated with allied health, medical specialists, nursing and rehabilitation when it is relevant to the care plan.
Practical guidance
Advice is translated into realistic food choices, routines and follow-up that can be sustained beyond the consultation.
How dietetics may help
Nutrition support matched to your health and recovery goals.
The focus depends on the assessment and may include protein and energy needs, bone health, healthy ageing, weight management, meal planning and nutrition around treatment or rehabilitation.

Support adequate energy, protein and nutrients before or after surgery, injury or another period of reduced activity.
Healthy ageing and bone health
Nutrition strategies that support muscle, bone health, energy and independence as needs change over time.
