The key differences between nutritionists and dietitians are:

Nutritionists provide practical nutrition advice to healthy individuals and offer their advice within general healthy eating guidelines.

Dietitians specialise in the relationship between diet and disease. Dietitians are equipped to work with individuals with chronic and acute health conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, PCOS, allergies and intolerances. You are able to receive a rebate from your private health insurance with an appointment with a dietitian and where applicable receive a medicare rebate.

All dietetic practitioners employed at The Healthy Eating Clinic to see clients are Accredited Practicing Dietitians (APDs), and are university educated in nutritional science and the practical application of nutrition principles. Body Scan Analysts are not required to be dietitians, however, they are throughly trained to explain your body scan results.
