Assisting Children Through Dietetics

Our Paediatric Dietitians prioritise nutrition to improve the overall health and well-being of children with disabilities. We work with families to create individualised nutrition plans to meet each child’s unique needs. We are dedicated to supporting children who face challenges with feeding, digestion, optimal nutrient intake, or weight management.

Our paediatric Dietitians have a wealth of experience in assessing and managing various conditions, including food allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, and metabolic disorders. We are also skilled in providing nutrition support to children with complex medical needs, including enteral feeding and parenteral nutrition.

Paediatric Dietitians

At South West Kids Clinic, our Dietitians play a vital role in promoting healthy growth and development, managing allergies and intolerances, and disease-related nutrition concerns to support healthy eating habits for life. They work closely with families to collaborate on strategies supporting improved nutrition and overall health and well-being.

Our paediatric Dietitians provide in-depth dietary management and counselling for children experiencing a range of conditions, including:

Gastrointestinal Disorders:

Our team proficiently manages conditions such as constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, and coeliac disease, enhancing digestive health through targeted dietary strategies.
We provide dietary counselling for diabetes management and metabolic syndrome, focusing on establishing healthy eating patterns to maintain optimal blood sugar levels and metabolic health.
For children facing issues with being underweight or obese, our Dietitians support increasing food knowledge to promote independence around making appropriate diet changes that are sustainable in the long term.
We address poor growth and developmental delays with nutrition support to boost energy intake and optimise nutrient absorption.
Our team helps children with food refusal, restriction, or disordered eating patterns by creating positive food experiences and introducing a wider variety of foods into the diet.
We help identify and manage food intolerances and allergies, ensuring children receive safe and nutritionally adequate alternatives to support their health.

Frequently asked questions
What qualifications and experience do your Dietitians have?
Our Dietitians are qualified with degrees in Nutrition and Dietetics and are members of Dietitians Australia. They have extensive experience working with children and are skilled in addressing various nutritional needs and conditions.
A first consultation involves thoroughly assessing your child’s health, dietary habits, and medical history to create a personalised nutrition plan.
Results can vary based on the condition and the specific changes made. Some improvements can be seen relatively quickly, while others may take longer to manifest as the body adjusts.
We strive to make our dietary plans practical and family-friendly, offering alternatives and options to fit your lifestyle and ensure they are easy to follow and maintain long-term.
We develop personalised nutrition plans based on your child’s unique needs, preferences, and medical requirements. This involves nutritional assessment, analysis of current diet, setting realistic goals, providing practical dietary advice, and offering ongoing support to ensure your child achieves their nutritional targets.
We provide tailored support for children with special dietary needs due to medical conditions, cultural preferences, or specific dietary practices. We ensure their nutritional requirements fit their lifestyle and health goals.
We believe in a family-centred approach involving parents and caregivers in all aspects of nutritional care. We provide education, resources, and strategies to help families implement and maintain healthy eating habits at home.
Our Dietitians work closely with other healthcare providers, including doctors, therapists, and specialists, to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive approach to your child’s care. We regularly communicate and share updates to align treatment goals and strategies.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to start therapy?
The best time to start therapy is when you notice any developmental delays or concerns in your child. Early intervention is crucial as it can significantly improve the effectiveness of the treatment, helping your child achieve the best possible outcomes.

The frequency of therapy sessions typically depends on your child’s specific needs and goals during the initial assessment. Most children benefit from weekly sessions, but we may suggest more or fewer visits based on your child’s progress.

Put simply, the greater your involvement is in therapy, the quicker your child will gain results. For this reason, we only work with families actively involved in their child’s therapy. This includes collaborating to establish goals, participating in therapy sessions, completing practice between sessions and providing feedback to your therapist about progress between sessions.
Our team conducts comprehensive assessments to understand each child’s strengths and challenges. Based on these assessments, we develop individualised therapy plans that are continually adapted to reflect progress and changing needs.
You can contact our clinic directly or via email to discuss your child’s needs. Our reception team will ask quick questions about your child to determine the next steps required.
Therapy sessions are primarily completed in our clinic; however, we occasionally recommend contacting the school or child care to observe your child and consult with the teachers regarding valuable strategies to promote success in the classroom or playground. Occasionally, ongoing sessions are suggested; however, this is based on clinical need rather than convenience.
