Dietetic courses in Australia prepare dietitians to work in a wide range of practice areas. Many dietitians also have further qualifications or experience in particular areas. Dietitions Association of Australia (DAA) members and Australian Practising Dietitions (APD) make a commitment to practice within their personal expertise and to promote their practice accordingly. Sports Dietitians for example are fully qualified Dietitians who have completed further education in sports nutrition. Sports Dietitians Australia (SDA) is a professional organisation of Dietitians specialising in the field of sports nutrition.
