In Australia, dietitians are university-qualified and registered health professionals who can provide medical nutrition therapy and are covered by Medicare and health funds. Nutritionists have a nutrition qualification but varying scopes of practice. For clinical weight management, a dietitian is the recommended choice.

Many weight loss programs only focus on short-term weight loss. In order to keep any weight you lose off, take care to choose a program that includes long-term weight maintenance.

Talk with your doctor before you choose a weight loss program. They may be able to advise you on the types of program that could work for you, and which ones you should avoid. When choosing a weight loss program, it’s important to find one that doesn’t promise instant results; instead it should be aiming to help you achieve weight loss safely over the course of several months. The program should promote healthy lifestyle behaviours you can stick to so you can maintain a healthy weight long-term.

Sustainable weight loss typically occurs at 0.5-1kg per week. Most clients see meaningful results within 8-12 weeks of a structured programme. The focus should be on sustainable behaviour change rather than rapid loss, which is more likely to be maintained long-term.
