Nutrition Support Designed Around the Whole Person

Nutrition can be influenced by disability, medical conditions, sensory needs, communication, daily routines, culture, food access and a person’s relationship with food. That is why our Dietitians look beyond generic meal plans. We take the time to understand each client’s nutritional needs, health concerns, living environment, preferences and goals. We then develop realistic strategies that can be implemented in everyday life. From our base in Piara Waters, we provide Dietetics services across Perth, including support in homes and other appropriate community settings.

Our Dietetics services may support people experiencing:

  • Autism-related feeding challenges
  • Food aversion, selective eating or restricted food intake
  • Sensory or texture-related feeding difficulties

Our Dietetics Services

Our Accredited Practising Dietitians provide a range of nutrition assessments and interventions.

Comprehensive Nutrition Assessments

We assess nutritional intake, health conditions, dietary requirements, eating patterns, routines and personal goals to identify risks and develop suitable recommendations.

Personalised Nutrition and Meal Planning

We develop practical nutrition and meal-planning strategies tailored to health requirements, food preferences, abilities, culture, budget and routines.

Autism and Food Aversion Support

We support autistic children, teenagers and adults experiencing food aversion, highly selective eating or anxiety around unfamiliar foods through a respectful and gradual approach.

Sensory-Based Feeding Support

Our Dietitians consider texture, smell, appearance, temperature, environment, routine and emotional safety. Where appropriate, we collaborate with Occupational Therapists.

Chronic Disease Management

We provide individualised nutrition guidance for conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, supporting practical dietary changes as part of the broader health plan.

Weight Management

We provide respectful, evidence-based support that considers health, disability, medications, routines, food access and individual circumstances.

Nutritional Deficiency and Malnutrition Support

We assess clients experiencing or at risk of nutritional deficiencies or malnutrition and develop practical strategies to improve nutritional intake.

Enteral and PEG Feeding Support

We support eligible clients with enteral or PEG feeding requirements, assessing nutritional needs, monitoring progress and collaborating with the healthcare team where appropriate.

Nutrition Education and Capacity Building

We help clients, families and support teams build practical knowledge and confidence around nutrition, food selection, meal planning and implementation.

Dietetics Services for Providers and Organisations

Award-Winning Feeding Support

U & A Homecare was recognised as the 2025 WA Disability Support Awards Winner for Excellence in Innovation for developing a child-led, sensory-based model of feeding support for children with autism. Our approach recognises that complex feeding challenges are rarely addressed by simply telling someone what to eat. We consider sensory preferences, communication, confidence, routines, the mealtime environment and the individual’s relationship with food.

Discuss Feeding Support

An Integrated Allied Health Approach

At U & A Homecare, Dietetics can be coordinated with Occupational Therapy and Therapy Assistant support where appropriate.

This 360-degree approach considers the relationship between nutrition, sensory regulation, daily function, food preparation, mealtime routines and independence.

A Dietitian may develop nutritional and feeding recommendations while an Occupational Therapist addresses sensory or functional barriers. A Therapy Assistant may then help the client practise agreed strategies consistently in everyday settings.
