As Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs), our Dietitians have the qualifications and expertise to modify diets and to treat health conditions. The APD credential is recognised by the Australian Government as the quality standard for nutrition and dietetics services in Australia. Maintaining current APD status is an essential requirement for provider status with Medicare, Department of Veterans Affairs and private health funds. Maintaining current APD status requires participation in ongoing continuing professional development and complying with the Dietitians Association of Australia Code of Professional Conduct and Statement of Ethical Practice.
