What is nutrition?

Are you interested in learning about the role of food in health? Have you thought about the study of food science? Nutritionist online courses might be just the education pathway you’ve been looking for to start a career in Australia‘s allied health industry.

Nutrition is the study of food and nutrition and its impact on human physiology. As the Australian public has become more invested in their long-term health and wellness, the demand for more knowledge and more guidance has grown.

Many Australians turn to nutritionists, dieticians or naturopaths for this guidance. These roles, however, are not the only career opportunities available to you in this industry. There are multiple areas in the industry that you can choose to explore after completing a course on-campus or through online learning.

Career outcomes in the nutrition industry

Studies in nutrition can lead to a highly rewarding career as you see an improvement in the health of your patients and a growth in their knowledge of living a healthy lifestyle.

There are a range of career outcomes in the field of nutrition including:

  • Nutritionist

  • Dietician assistant
  • Nutritional products retailer
  • Allied health assistant
  • Sports nutritionist assistant
  • Health and nutritional consultant

Job Outlook for nutrition professionals

Nutritionist online courses

If you are considering embarking on a career in the field of nutrition it is essential to choose nutrition degrees or courses that will qualify you to one day apply for accreditation with a nationally recognised organisation such as the Nutrition Society of Australia or the Dietitian Association of Australia.

There are plenty of nutritionist online courses that can lead to roles as an assistant to a qualified nutritionist or dietitian in private, public or community health environments. Those who wish to work as fully qualified nutrition professionals can alternatively complete an Advanced Diploma or Bachelor of Nutrition Science.

For those who enjoy the biochemistry behind the industry and really want to immerse themselves in the science, a master of dietetics is possible. To be eligible for this qualification you must first successfully complete a related bachelor’s degree.

Certificate IV

Delivered as an online course with a face-to-face work experience requirement, a Certificate IV in Allied Health Assistance ‘Nutrition & Dietetics Stream’ will lead you into a career as an allied health assistant in nutrition or dietetics. The course will focus on providing you with the foundation knowledge in nutrition principles required to succeed in the industry. A specialised certification in sports nutrition is also possible. Certificates and short courses in nutrition usually have no entry requirements.

Diploma

From biological and social sciences to food packaging and public health, you will learn the required skills and knowledge to educate clients on how to achieve optimal health and wellness.

Is a nutrition course right for me?

Nutritional professionals focus on helping people through the power of food and nutrients. It’s both a scientific and social-orientated industry that can lead you down some very interesting career opportunities.
