Our Qualifications and Accreditations
Accredited Dietitians
Our dietitians hold university accredited dietetics qualifications and the Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) credential. The APD program is self regulated under the National Alliance of Self Regulating Health Professions (NASRHP) through Dietitians Australia, which means we meet national standards and commit to ongoing training to provide safe, ethical and evidence based care.
Accredited Sports Dietitian
An Accredited Sports Dietitian holds additional, specialised sports nutrition accreditation on top of the APD credential. This means we can support the performance, recovery and everyday health of athletes and active people, from those just starting out to experienced competitors.
FODMAP Diet Training
For clients living with IBS and other gut concerns, we have completed further training with Monash University so we can safely and effectively guide a low FODMAP diet in clinical practice.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Quesitons
Common questions we receive from clients seeking ongoing health support.
What is an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD)?
An Accredited Practising Dietitian is a university-qualified nutrition professional who has met the national standards set through Dietitians Australia and NASRHP, and who commits to ongoing training. The APD credential is the recognised standard for dietitians in Australia and is required for Medicare and most private health rebates.
What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?
In Australia, ‘nutritionist’ is not a protected title, while ‘dietitian’ reflects an accredited university qualification in dietetics. All Body Fusion practitioners are Accredited Practising Dietitians, which means they are qualified to provide individual medical nutrition therapy as well as general nutrition advice.
Do I need a referral to see a dietitian?
No referral is needed to book privately. If you have a chronic condition, your GP may be able to refer you under a Medicare care plan, and some private health funds offer rebates for dietetics. We can talk you through your options during your first appointment.
What can a dietitian at Body Fusion help with?
Our dietitians support weight management, sports nutrition, gut health and IBS, women’s health, chronic condition care, paediatric nutrition and eating disorder support. Every plan is tailored to your goals using an evidence based, non-diet approach. Visit our services pages to learn more.
Where are your dietitians located?
Body Fusion sees clients across Sydney’s North Shore, with our main clinic in North Sydney and appointments also available at partner medical centres in Hunters Hill, Rozelle and Lane Cove. (Web team: reflect the confirmed current locations here.)
