About the Nutrition and Dietetic Clinic
Training dietitians for today and tomorrow.
We provide individual consultations at our clinic. These are provided by final-year student dietitians under the direct supervision of a New Zealand Registered Dietitian.
The Nutrition and Dietetic clinic aims:
- To provide members of the community with affordable evidence-based, personalised dietary advice and ongoing support to assist them to work towards achieving their health goals
- To provide students with a safe and supportive learning environment to develop their dietetic skills as they progress towards competency
What we do
Our student dietitians provide personalised consultations. Although this service is not free, fees are kept low so as to provide an affordable service to our community. Our students can see clients for a range of health concerns including:
- Weight concern
- High cholesterol and/or heart disease
- Type 2 diabetes
- Coeliac disease
- Nutrition after cancer treatment
- Irritable bowel syndrome (stage 1 only)
- Nutrition for pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Early stage kidney disease
- Poor appetite
- Sports nutrition
As this is a student-led clinic we are unable to accept referrals for the following health concerns:
- Children (including fussy eating, weight concern and allergies)
- Eating disorders and disordered eating
- Irritable bowel syndrome requiring a low FODMAP diet
- Significant allergies and intolerances
The following document provides details of private practice dietitians within the Auckland Region who may be able to see clients who have health concerns outside of the scope of our student-led clinic.
