Common Questions
No, this course does not have a minimum ATAR requirement for entry. Instead, you need to have successfully completed secondary school and meet other entry criteria such as English-language requirements and relevant subject scores. Work and life experience will also be considered.
In your second and third year you can choose from three minors: Biomedical Nutrition, Public Health Nutrition, and Exercise and Nutrition. You are required to complete two minors (96 credit points of minor studies) as part of the 288 credit point degree.
To become an Accredited Practising Dietitian, you must complete a post-graduate program accredited by Dietitians Australia after finishing this degree. It is recommended that you complete at least the Biomedical Nutrition minor in addition to your core studies, as entry requirements into accredited programs may vary between different institutions.
The course offers extensive practical and industry experience, including industry visits, laboratory exercises, computer simulations, case studies, interaction with community nutrition initiatives, and industry-based projects. In your final year, you will complete a workplace or research-based project. All students must also obtain a 'Working with Children Check' before commencing third-year placement units.
For eligible Australian citizens, permanent residents and New Zealand citizens, the course is offered as a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), with indicative fees of AU$9,537 per year for a full-time student in 2026. This fee is a guide only, based on a typical full-time study load, and does not include materials such as textbooks or the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF). HELP loans may be available to eligible students.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
