Are you a registered NDIS participant with a disability? You could benefit from working with a dietitian as part of your NDIS plan to help you achieve your goals.

Nutrition is a hugely important part of all health plans and health conditions. Your body needs to have the right support for its ability to heal and in all aspects of rehabilitation.

Understanding which food to eat, and the impact each food has on your conditions is an important ingredient in a successful health and wellbeing plan.
