Careers in nutrition
Is a career in nutrition right for you?

What is nutrition?

Why is nutrition vital for your health? Providing your body with a nutrient-dense diet is crucial for optimal health. An essential discipline focuses on ensuring that your body receives the nutrients needed for healing, growth, and maintenance.

Our range of nutrition courses—available both in class and online—are designed to equip you with the knowledge to either improve your dietary habits or guide others towards a healthier, happier lifestyle.

What do nutritionists do?

Nutritionists play a pivotal role in examining the link between diet and health while laying down strategies for better lifestyle choices. Their expertise is crucial across multiple sectors, including research, fitness, public health, food production, and education.

What do nutritionists earn in Australia?

Currently, around 2,300 registered nutritionists work throughout Australia, many of whom work in research, fitness, community health, food production, and education.

The average working week is 36.8 hours long and the average salary is between $70,000 and $90,000. Most jobs are in New South Wales (32.3%), Victoria (24.7%) and Queensland (21.1%).

Online nutrition courses

Studying nutrition offers a wide variety of roles and specialties, demanding significant skill and knowledge. To become a nutritionist, there are numerous educational paths available, both through in-person and online courses.

Popular fields of study include nutrition, health science, and dietetics.

  • Certificate in Human Nutrition
  • Certificate III in Nutrition and Dietetic Assistance
  • Certificate III in Public Health
  • Certificate IV in Allied Health Assistance (Nutrition and Dietetics)
  • Diploma of Nutrition
  • Diploma of Sports Nutrition
  • Bachelor of Health Science (Nutritional Medicine)
  • Bachelor of Food and Nutritional Sciences

Begin with a nutrition certificate

Take the first step into the nutrition profession with a nationally recognised certificate in nutrition. These certificates have simple entry requirements and offer an excellent foundation for anyone looking to start their career in nutrition and health sciences.

On average, completing a certificate in nutrition can take anywhere from 6 months to 1 year, depending on whether you choose full-time or part-time study options.

  • Understand: The foundational science of proper nutrition
  • Evaluate: Health and dietary needs
  • Master: The creation and monitoring of balanced diets

Progress with a diploma

Earning a diploma in nutrition opens the door to higher-level career opportunities and the potential to start your own business. Completing a nutrition diploma requires around 1 to 2 years of study.

The advantage of pursuing a diploma lies not only in the comprehensive understanding of nutrition it provides but also in the practical experience gained through project work and placements.

  • Learn: How the body works and fundamental nutrition principles
  • Discover: The connections between nutrient deficiency, the human body and disease
  • Master: Advanced nutrition and dietary planning

For those aiming for more senior roles within the nutrition field, pursuing a Bachelor of Nutrition or Bachelor of Health Science can be the key to unlocking advanced career opportunities.

Careers in nutrition

Following your studies, there are several career paths in nutrition you can pursue, including:

  • Nutritionist
  • Public health educator
  • Nutritional consultant
  • Food and health researcher
  • Sports nutritionist
  • Health and aged care nutritionist

Is a career in nutrition right for you?

Thriving in nutrition requires a scientific mindset, a strong interest in personal health, and the ability to explain complex information to clients. This profession is ideal for individuals who enjoy interacting with people. Since most roles involve direct public engagement, having tact, patience, and a supportive demeanour is crucial.

At Tafecourses, we offer a variety of nutrition courses, both in-class and online, tailored to meet you at any stage of your personal and professional journey. Browse nutrition courses and find the one you’re looking for.
