As a Dietitian, you'll help improve the health and wellbeing of patients across our region. You'll work closely with clinicians, support teams and the community to deliver safe, person‑centred care that truly matters.
Every day, you'll contribute by:
- Delivering evidence‑informed nutrition care that supports safe recovery and better patient outcomes
- Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to guide tailored interventions and provide clear, compassionate advice
- Leading or contributing to service improvements that enhance the quality and consistency of nutrition care
- Sharing your expertise through education, supervision and meaningful engagement with peers and students
Let's talk about you!
You're someone who combines clinical skill with genuine compassion. You communicate with clarity, act with integrity and dignity, and bring curiosity to every case. You're motivated by the difference your work makes—supporting individuals, families and teams through moments that truly matter. You take pride in delivering high‑quality care, and you're committed to growing your practice, your impact and your connection to the community you serve.
Here's what will help you thrive in this role:
- Recognised qualification in Nutrition and Dietetics and eligibility for Accredited Practising Dietitian status
- Strong clinical judgement with the ability to adapt care to diverse and sometimes complex situations
- Confident communication skills and the ability to contribute effectively within a team
- Commitment to ongoing learning, evidence‑based practice and meaningful collaboration
You'll stand out from the crowd if you have experience in regional health settings and/or additional professional development in clinical specialties.
Most importantly, you're passionate about delivering person‑centred nutrition care and living the values of compassion, integrity, dignity, innovation and courage every day—helping shape healthier futures across our communities.
This role lets you create genuine impact while contributing to a health service that values who you are and the difference you make.
