Children’s Dietitian Services
Our private children’s nutrition clinic supports families with a wide range of nutrition concerns.
Fussy Eating & Selective Eating
Fussy eating is extremely common in young children. Our paediatric dietitians work with families to help children gradually expand their diet and feel more comfortable trying new foods.
Support includes:
• Food exposure strategies
• Meal structure and routine
• Reducing mealtime stress
• Increasing food variety
Poor Weight Gain & Growth Concerns
If your child is struggling to gain weight or falling behind on growth charts, our children’s dietitians can help identify the underlying causes and develop a personalised nutrition plan to support healthy growth.
We provide support for:
• Underweight children
• Faltering growth
• Low appetite
• High energy requirements
Childhood Overweight & Healthy Weight Support
Our children’s nutritionists help families create balanced eating habits that support healthy weight management without restrictive dieting.
Our approach focuses on:
• Balanced meals
• Improving satiety and hunger cues
• Family nutrition habits
• Sustainable lifestyle changes
Food Allergies & Intolerances
If your child has food allergies, intolerances or digestive issues, a paediatric dietitian can help ensure they receive the nutrients they need while managing symptoms safely.
Support includes:
• Dairy-free diets
• Gluten-free diets
• Low FODMAP for IBS
• Multiple food exclusions
• Nutrient adequacy on restricted diets
Digestive Issues in Children
We provide specialist support for children experiencing digestive symptoms such as:
• Bloating
• Constipation
• IBS
• Reflux
• Abdominal pain
Our dietitians use evidence-based nutrition strategies to improve gut health and digestive comfort.
For young athletes involved in competitive sport, nutrition plays a critical role in performance and development.
Our sports dietitians support:
• Young swimmers
• Footballers
• Runners
• Gymnasts

We help young athletes optimise:

Many children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience challenges with food, including sensory sensitivities, limited food variety and strong food preferences.
Our children’s dietitians provide specialised nutrition support for autistic children, helping families improve dietary variety while ensuring nutritional adequacy.
Support may include:
• Managing sensory-related food aversions
• Expanding a limited food repertoire
• Ensuring adequate nutrient intake
• Supporting structured mealtime routines
• Addressing digestive symptoms commonly associated with autism
Our goal is to create realistic, child-centred strategies that reduce mealtime stress and support healthy development.
Nutrition can play an important role in supporting children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Our paediatric dietitians help families optimise nutrition to support focus, energy levels, behaviour regulation and overall health.
Support may include:
• Improving blood sugar stability throughout the day
• Ensuring adequate protein and micronutrient intake
• Supporting balanced school meals and snacks
• Identifying potential dietary triggers
• Developing structured eating routines
We provide practical strategies that fit into busy family routines and school schedules.
Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a feeding disorder where children significantly restrict the types or amount of food they eat. This can lead to nutritional deficiencies, poor growth, or anxiety around eating.
Our children’s dietitians provide specialist support for children with ARFID, working closely with families to gradually improve food intake while reducing stress around meals.
Support may include:
• Expanding a very limited range of foods
• Addressing sensory-related food aversions
• Supporting adequate calorie and nutrient intake
• Reducing anxiety around meals and food exposure
• Structured strategies to introduce new foods safely
We work with families to create gentle, structured approaches that support progress without overwhelming the child.
