Nutritional therapy is the application of nutrition and health science to enable individuals to maximize their health potential. Nutritional therapy can help alleviate a wide range of conditions and assist in the recovery from many ill-health situations. Nutritional therapists recognise that each person is an individual who has unique dietary and nutritional requirements.

With the transfer of the register to the CNHC, the NTC has a new focus. It will now develop its role as the Professional Standards Council for Nutritional Therapy, developing education and training standards for the profession.

Nutritional therapists assess nutritional status and functional capacity. They recognise that each person's needs are unique and depend on a number of factors, from inherited strengths and weaknesses to the influence of diet, lifestyle and environment. How are Nutritional Therapists different?

The Nutritional Therapy Council (NTC) accredits courses against the National Occupational Standards (NOS) in Nutritional Therapy. We welcome contact from independent colleges and universities who wish to develop courses, or to submit existing courses.
