In Australia there is a difference between a dietitian and other nutritional health providers including nutritionists. All dietitians are nutritionists, but nutritionists without a dietetics qualification can't call themselves a dietitian.  While there are similarities between a dietitian and nutritionist there are differences in qualifications and regulation.

The dietetic profession is regulated and meets strict standards as set out by the National Alliance of Self Regulating Health Professions (NASRHP). All dietitians have graduated with an accredited dietetics degree from an Australian university or studied overseas and undergone strict examination processes. Dietitians with the Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) credential commit to ongoing training and education throughout their careers. They adhere to the Dietitians Australia  code of conduct and have  the knowledge and skills found in the National Competency Standards for Dietitians. As a profession, nutritionists are not regulated in Australia under NASRHP or certified under a single regulatory body. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist regardless of their qualifications.
