Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health

The Aero Dietitian provides flexible, evidence-based dietetic services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across regional and remote Queensland and the Northern Territory.

We work collaboratively with Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations, primary healthcare centres, hospitals, community organisations and local multidisciplinary teams. Our service is designed to complement existing care, respond to locally identified needs and improve access to dietetic support in communities where regular services may be limited.

Services can include:

• Visiting face-to-face dietetic clinics

• Ongoing telehealth consultations between visits

• Diabetes and chronic disease management

• Renal, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular nutrition

• Malnutrition, aged care and disability nutrition

• Women’s, children’s and family nutrition

• Community nutrition education and health-promotion programs

• Support for local clinicians and multidisciplinary care teams

As both an Accredited Practising Dietitian and a commercial pilot, I can travel directly to regional and remote locations, making it possible to develop reliable outreach circuits and return regularly where there is an identified need.

Our approach is collaborative, culturally respectful and centred on building trusted local relationships. We aim to provide continuity of care rather than isolated visits, working with local health professionals and community organisations to develop a service model that suits each community.
