Dietitians are experts in all areas of nutrition and help clients understand the relationship between food and health.
Dietitians provide client-centred care by delivering dietary advice to support adequate nutrition and hydration, resulting in a good quality of life and overall health.
MTHCS Dietitians provide services in acute care, permanent care, respite and the community, and can visit clients in their own homes. MTHCS Dietitians are on-site at Ouyen and Sea Lake and also cover the surrounding catchment areas.
