Children's nutrition FAQs
Common questions before getting started. For questions about diagnosis, medication or test results, please also speak with your doctor.
7 questions · select a question to see the answer
My child won’t eat vegetables. Do we need a dietitian?
Many children go through this. Offering foods repeatedly without pressure often helps, but it can take many tries. If your child eats a very narrow range of foods, or you are worried about growth or nutrition, an assessment can help you plan next steps.
My child is growing slowly. Should we see a GP or a dietitian first?
See your GP first if your child’s growth curve has dropped or flattened, so they can check for medical causes. We can then support your child’s eating alongside their advice.
My child only eats rice and meat. What can we do?
Keep offering a small amount of other foods next to familiar favourites, without pressure. A ‘parents provide, child decides’ approach can reduce mealtime battles. We help you plan meals that build variety gradually.
How should I pack a school lunchbox?
Aim for a mix of food groups, with water as the main drink, and check your school’s allergy policy. We will help with ideas your child is likely to eat.
Can you help with food allergies?
We can help you plan balanced meals around allergies diagnosed by your doctor or allergist. Please do not remove foods from your child’s diet without medical advice.
Do you help with babies starting solids?
Yes, we can help with starting solids and moving through textures. If your baby has feeding difficulties, poor weight gain or signs of allergy, please see your GP or child health nurse. If your baby has difficult or noisy breathing, swelling of the face or tongue, or becomes pale and floppy, call 000.
Can I get a refund or pause my program?
Yes. If you are unable to continue because of your health, work, family or other personal reasons, you can contact us at any time to end your program early. Fees for services already provided as agreed are not refundable. We will calculate and refund the remaining unused service fees based on the agreed package price and our service records, less a cancellation processing fee of no more than 15% of the unused amount. The initial nutrition assessment is always free, whether or not you continue with the service or request a refund.
If we cannot provide the agreed services or our services do not meet the consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law, we will provide a remedy, refund or other statutory remedy as required by law, and the cancellation processing fee will not apply. Your statutory consumer rights, including applicable cooling-off rights, are not limited.
To pause, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance in normal circumstances; sudden illness, hospitalisation and other emergencies are handled flexibly. Once your pause is confirmed, the paused period does not count towards your used service working days and your remaining service working days are carried forward. See our refund and suspension policy.
