Bayside Health is a public health service delivering high-quality care across every stage of life for close to 1.2 million people living in metropolitan Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula, Koo Wee Rup, Bass Coast and Southern Gippsland.
We have more than 15 main sites, including hospitals, centres and clinics that provide comprehensive care from welcoming newborns to supporting older people and a full range of services in between.
More than 22,000 dedicated staff are focused on providing exceptional, equitable, and locally connected care through shared expertise, compassion, and a commitment to continuous growth. Education and training are central to staff development as we encourage all employees to strive and thrive.
Bayside Health was formed following the merger of Alfred Health, Bass Coast Health, Gippsland Southern Health Service, Kooweerup Regional Health Service and Peninsula Health on 1 January 2026.
The Team & Role
The dietitian is a member of the Early Intervention in Chronic Disease (EIiCD) Program and is responsible for delivering high-quality, evidence-based nutrition assessments, education, and intervention to individuals with chronic health conditions. Based primarily at the Frankston site, this role requires flexibility to provide services across multiple locations in response to organisational and client needs.
The dietitian supports clients presenting with chronic diseases influenced by lifestyle factors, food intolerances, disordered eating, and a range of nutrition-related health concerns. Working within a time-limited community health model, the dietitian empowers individuals to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence required for effective self-management of their condition.
Where self-management goals cannot be achieved within the scope of the service, the dietitian facilitates appropriate referral and transition of care to a General Practitioner, specialist, or other relevant healthcare provider.
