Feeding difficulties & sensory-related eating challenges
Practical, patient support for selective eating, sensory sensitivities and mealtime distress — built around what already works in your household.
NDIS Support
Practical nutrition support, person-centred and considered.
Dietetic support for NDIS participants and their families — thoughtful, collaborative, and focused on what matters to you.
Who We Support
Nutrition support built around your everyday life.
Nourish Ability Dietetics provides nutrition support for NDIS participants under self-managed and plan-managed arrangements. We work collaboratively with individuals, families, and support networks to build practical, achievable nutrition goals — grounded in what's realistic for everyday life, not generic advice.
Focus Areas
Where our support is most helpful.
Nazreen works with a focused set of nutrition areas so every participant receives considered, evidence-based care — not generic advice. Through her clinical background, she has supported NDIS participants with intellectual disability, Autism Level 2, and ADHD, across a wide range of needs and complexity — including ARFID and other selective eating patterns (such as eating only white or beige foods), severe food selectivity, fluid-dependent feeding, significant sensory sensitivities, and clients who find clinical settings distressing. Sessions are adapted to wherever a participant is most comfortable — home, vehicle, or community-based — and for participants with intellectual disability or complex needs, visual and practical tools such as traffic light food systems and portion plates are used in place of approaches that rely on numeracy or calorie counting.
Autism-informed nutrition care
Respectful, neurodiversity-affirming support that honours how you and your family experience food, routine, and sensory environments.
Paediatric nutrition
Growth, feeding development and everyday family meals — support that meets children where they are, and works alongside parents and carers.
General community nutrition for adults
Everyday nutrition support for adult participants — chronic conditions, weight, energy, and food practicalities of living independently.
Beyond direct sessions, Nazreen prepares NDIS-specific documentation — including letters of support for oral nutrition supplement (ONS) funding, mealtime management plans, and reports that clearly advocate for participants' nutrition needs to help ensure they're properly recognised in plan reviews. She regularly collaborates with speech pathologists, occupational therapists, support coordinators, and other members of a participant's care team to keep nutrition support consistent and well-integrated into their broader plan.
How We Work
Three ways to meet, one steady approach.
Support is available in the format that works best for you and your household — with the same care, continuity, and dedicated Accredited Practising Dietitian across every session.
Home visits
Available for eligible NDIS participants across Melbourne's northern suburbs, including Mickleham, Craigieburn, Broadmeadows, Coburg, and surrounding areas — bringing sessions into the home environment where that best supports the participant's goals.
In person at Mickleham
By appointment at Mickleham South Community Centre — a quiet, accessible space in Melbourne's north.
Telehealth
Video consultations available Australia-wide — a comfortable, low-friction option for you or the family member you support.
Funding
Clear and straightforward from the start.
Nourish Ability Dietetics is not a registered NDIS provider. We work with self-managed and plan-managed participants only. If your plan is agency-managed, your plan manager or support coordinator can help confirm your options.
- We invoice your plan manager directly, so there's no paperwork or claiming for you to manage
- Fees are charged in line with current NDIS Pricing Arrangements
- No long waitlist — most new participants are seen within one to two weeks
Referrals Welcome
For Support Coordinators & Plan Managers
If you're a support coordinator or plan manager, let's work together. I welcome referrals for participants who could benefit from dietetic support, and I'm always glad to refer back — whether that's connecting families with support coordination, personal care, or other allied health services in their plan. Clear reports, direct communication, and flexible telehealth, in-person, or home visit options mean less back-and-forth for you.
