Practical nutrition support for growth, mealtimes and children with complex needs.
Our paediatric Dietitians prioritise nutrition to improve the overall health and wellbeing of children with disabilities. We work with families to create individualised nutrition plans that meet each child's unique needs, and we're dedicated to supporting children who face challenges with feeding, digestion, nutrient intake or weight management.
Our team has extensive experience assessing and managing conditions including food allergies, gastrointestinal disorders and metabolic disorders, and we're skilled in providing nutrition support to children with complex medical needs, including enteral and parenteral feeding. At Boom Kids Clinic, we work closely with families and the rest of a child's therapy team to support healthy eating habits that last.

A first consultation involves thoroughly assessing your child's health, dietary habits and medical history to create a personalised nutrition plan.
Results vary depending on the condition and the specific changes made. Some improvements can be seen relatively quickly, while others take longer to manifest as the body adjusts.
We aim to make our dietary plans practical and family-friendly, offering alternatives and options that fit your lifestyle so they're easy to follow and maintain long-term.
We develop personalised nutrition plans based on your child's unique needs, preferences and medical requirements. This involves a nutritional assessment, analysis of current diet, setting realistic goals, providing practical dietary advice and offering ongoing support.
Yes, we provide tailored support for children with special dietary needs due to medical conditions, cultural preferences or specific dietary practices, ensuring their nutritional requirements fit their lifestyle and health goals.
We take a family-centred approach, involving parents and caregivers in all aspects of nutritional care. We provide education, resources and strategies to help families implement and maintain healthy eating habits at home.
Our Dietitians work closely with other healthcare providers, including doctors, therapists and specialists, to ensure a coordinated approach to your child's care, with regular communication to align treatment goals.
Our friendly team can help you understand how Dietetics could support your child's goals, and get you booked in with the right therapist.
