In Australia, all dietitians are nutritionists; however, nutritionists without a dietetics qualification cannot take on the expert role of a dietitian.
Dietitians are qualified to provide evidence-based nutrition services, but in addition, a dietitian has undertaken a course of study that included substantial theory and supervised and assessed professional practice in clinical nutrition, nutrition therapy and food service management.
A detailed list of the knowledge, skills and attributes of dietitians in Australia can be found in the National Competency Standards for Dietitians.
