Registered Nutritionists provide evidence-based nutrition information and guidance to people at an individual, group or population level. They work within sectors including non-governmental/not-for-profit organizations, academia, industry, policy and healthcare or in a freelance capacity.

Registered Nutritionists can work with individuals who have pre-existing medical conditions, provided that are not in respect to the nutritional management or treatment of their medical condition (unless in collaboration with the healthcare professional who is managing the individual’s condition such as a medical doctor or dietitian), and if the support/advice provided is not in contraindication with any dietary management of their medical condition.

Registered Nutritionists can also work with acutely-ill patients in the support of their nutritional management or treatment if they are practicing within a multi-disciplinary team and the management/treatment is under the close supervision of a regulated health professional such as a medical doctor or dietitian.
