Career opportunities

A nutritionist is a health professional who contributes towards the promotion of health and the prevention and treatment of illness by educating populations, communities and individuals on healthy eating and advocating for nutritional lifestyle changes where necessary. Nutritionists have a defined and recognisable body of knowledge and utilise scientific principles and methods in the study of nutrition, applying these results to influence the wider environment affecting food intake and eating behaviour.
