Nutrition And Dietetics Degrees in Victoria in 2022

According to the Dietitian Association of Australia (DAA) – Dietitian Association of Australia (DAA), there is a distinction made between dietitians and other occupations in the nutrition and food science field, including that of nutritionist. 

The key difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist is that, in addition to or as part of their qualification in human nutrition, a dietitian has undertaken a course of study that included substantial theory and supervised and assessed professional practice in clinical nutrition, medical nutrition therapy and food service management. 

So, in Australia, all dietitians are nutritionists. However, nutritionists without a dietetics qualification cannot take on the expert role of a dietitian. Victorian universities offering undergraduate courses in nutrition, food science and/or dietetics include:
