Our dietetic services are here to uplift adolescents and adults across all activity levels, from active individuals and athletes striving for peak performance to those looking to optimise their everyday wellbeing. We provide practical, positive support for weight management, gut health, blood sugar regulation, heart health, and sports nutrition.
Your first consultation is all about learning more about you, establishing goals and beginning to work towards your long-term goals. We conduct a thorough initial assessment that factors in your medical and nutrition history, lifestyle, training demands, and the role food currently plays in your life. Our goal is to quickly establish exciting goals and guide you toward a realistic, long-term approach that prioritises whatyou want to achieve, entirely free from restrictive dieting culture. You'll leave feeling confident, energised, and equipped with a clear plan of attack.
With Dietitian Mat, you can book either a 45‑minute or 60‑minute Initial Consultation, depending on the level of support you feel you’ll need to kickstart your journey. Both options allow ample time for a comprehensive assessment, an inspiring discussion of your goals, and the development of clear, practical next steps.

You do not need a doctor's referral to see a Dietitian. However, clients with a GP referral (EPC/CDM) may be eligible for a Medicare rebate. We also warmly welcome NDIS participants (plan-managed and self-managed), DVA clients, and private clients (private health insurance extras can be claimed). If you do have a referral, recent blood tests, or relevant medical reports, please bring them along to your first appointment to ensure your tailored strategy is perfectly aligned with your health data.
We are a team of experienced, collaborative clinicians that believes in the power of excellence and community.

Our new dance screening combines objective strength testing with dance-specific expertise to assess strength, control, and movement quality. Each 45-minute session provides dancers with a clear summary of results and a personalised strength and conditioning program designed to support safer training, improved technique, and performance goals.
Warm‑ups before high‑intensity exercise consistently improve performance and reduce injury risk, but not all warm‑up methods are equally effective. Research shows that stretching, whether static or dynamic does not meaningfully enhance performance or prevent injuries for most sports. The most reliable warm‑up strategy is simple: rehearse the movements you’re about to do at a lower intensity, then gradually build up.
