What is the difference between a Dietitian and a Nutritionist?

In Australia, the key difference between a dietitian and nutritionist is that dietitians have undertaken additional university study and practical experience in the areas of medical nutrition therapy, counselling and food service.

 

This means that all dietitians are considered to be nutritionists, but nutritionists without dietetic qualifications cannot call themselves a dietitian or take on the specialised role of a dietitian.
