About the Role

As a Dietitian within CALHN’s Integrated Care setting, you will play a key role in improving clinical outcomes for patients by delivering high-quality dietetic services across hospital avoidance, supported discharge, and hospital substitution models.

Key requirements:

• Qualifications: Degree or equivalent qualification eligible for full membership of the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA).

• Clinical Skills and Experience: Proven experience in nutritional assessment, counselling, patient education, and managing clients with complex needs.
