ABOUT ME
I'm Camilla and I'm a passionate dietitian based in the Adelaide Hills
I completed a Master of Dietetics in 2016 and soon after started my first job at Lyell McEwin hospital. During my first couple of years as a dietitian I also serviced Modbury hospital and rehab, GP Plus at Elizabeth and Flinders Medical Centre. I saw inpatients on the wards and outpatients in the clinics.
For the past five years I have been working for Country Health Connect - covering the Barossa, Hills and Fleurieu region. As a local of the Adelaide Hills, I really enjoy working in country health as I enjoy supporting the community in outpatient clinics and at the local hospitals.
As my contract is part time, this has enabled me to expand into private work which I have been doing since 2019. I love contributing to my community by providing the latest, evidence based advice and support to my clients.
I am passionate about my job and provide a safe, supportive environment. My areas of interest include using the Non-diet Approach/HAES counselling for clients concerned about their weight, gastroenterology, diabetes, malnutrition, oncology, paediatrics and wound healing.
I live in the Adelaide Hills with my husband who is also a dietitian, our toddler Luca, baby boy Ollie and two pugs Ruby and Eddie who keep us very busy!

What is an Accredited Practising Dietitian?
Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) are university-qualified professionals that undertake ongoing training and education programs to ensure that they are your most up-to-date and credible source of nutrition information. They translate scientific health and nutrition information into practical advice, and practise in line with DAA Professional Standards, including the DAA Code of Professional Conduct and Statement of Ethical Practice.
The APD credential
The APD credential is a public guarantee of nutrition and dietetic expertise. It is the only credential recognised by the Australian Government, Medicare, the Department of Veterans Affairs and most private health funds as the quality standard for nutrition and dietetics services in Australia. It is a recognised trademark protected by law.
APDs offer solid and trustworthy advice
APDs are nutrition scientists with a minimum of four years’ university study behind them. They take very seriously their responsibility of providing evidence-based nutrition advice and support. This means Australians can be confident that advice from an APD is solid and trustworthy
