Nutrition isn’t just about food choices. For NDIS participants, nutrition can influence:
- Energy levels
- Gut health
- Recovery
- Medication effectiveness
- Daily function
Dietetics often becomes the missing link when fatigue or health issues persist.
What Does NDIS Dietetics Involve?
NDIS dietitians may support:
- Disability-specific nutrition needs
- Chronic condition management
- Meal planning around energy and function
- Gut health support
- Education for participants and carers
We often work with people who feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice.
Is Dietetics Funded Under the NDIS?
Yes — dietetics is commonly funded under:
- Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living
If nutrition impacts your health, function, or independence, it is often considered reasonable and necessary.
A Common Belief: “I Eat Fine”
Many people eat “well” but still experience:
- Fatigue
- Poor recovery
- Digestive issues
- Low energy
Dietetics focuses on what works for your body — not generic rules.
Supporting Long-Term Health
Nutrition support can help:
- Improve energy
- Support immune health
- Reduce flare-ups
- Make daily life easier
Changes don’t need to be extreme to be effective.
Final Thoughts
NDIS dietetics is about practical, realistic nutrition that supports everyday life — not rigid plans or restrictions.
