Oscar takes a client-centred, non-judgmental approach, helping people navigate eating disorders with compassion and evidence-based guidance. He encourages mindful eating and practical strategies that foster confidence and self-trust around food.
Oscar works closely with our psychologists and psychiatrist to deliver nutrition care that's genuinely integrated, not siloed. He is trained in the Health at Every Size (HAES) framework and takes a weight-neutral, person-centred approach with all clients.
DIETETICS – HELPING YOU CUT THROUGH THE NOISE OF NUTRITION ADVICE & FIND WHAT WORKS FOR YOU.
Food is all around us. It's the packed lunchbox children bring to school, the catch ups with your friends at the local restaurant, or the comfort foods you have at home when watching a movie. It fuels our body for energy and our brain for concentration. As such, a healthy, balanced diet is important to help you live every day to the fullest.
At Pre-Emptive Healthcare, we understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate the world of nutrition. With conflicting advice from the media, social media, Google, and even those around you, it's easy to feel uncertain about what's right for you. Our Accredited Practising Dietitian, Oscar, can provide you with expert, evidence-based guidance to help you make sense of it all and feel confident in your nutrition choices. We work together with each individual to create nutrition plans designed to support you to achieve your goals.

The gut–brain link
is real.
Research in nutritional psychiatry has grown enormously in recent years. We now know that diet quality is one of the most modifiable risk factors for depression and anxiety, and that targeted nutritional intervention can meaningfully improve outcomes alongside standard treatment.
Your Nutrition Journey
A clear, supportive process (practical, non-judgmental, and always led by your goals).
Book Directly
You can self-refer directly to our dietitian. No GP referral is required. However, if you have a chronic condition, a GP referral and care plan may entitle you to Medicare rebates. Call our reception or book online and we'll guide you through what applies to your situation.
Initial Assessment (60 min)
Your first appointment covers your health history, current eating patterns, relationship with food, lifestyle, goals, and any mental health context. There's no judgment here. Our dietitian will meet you exactly where you are, with curiosity and warmth.
Personalised Nutrition Strategy
We develop a practical, realistic plan tailored to your needs, not a rigid meal plan or a list of restrictions, but a sustainable approach that fits your life. This may include meal ideas, behavioural strategies, gut health support, or specific clinical nutrition interventions.
Collaboration with Your Team
Where relevant, our dietitian communicates directly with your psychologist, psychiatrist, and GP, ensuring your nutrition plan complements your broader treatment and everyone is working from the same page. This is one of the key advantages of care under one roof.
Review & Adjustment (30 min)
Follow-up sessions check in on progress, troubleshoot challenges, and adjust your plan as your needs evolve. Some clients see our dietitian weekly during active treatment; others monthly for maintenance. We'll recommend a frequency that makes sense for you.
What to Expect
Dietetics at Pre-Emptive is different. Here's what sets our approach apart.
No diets. No restriction plans.
We don't hand you a rigid meal plan and send you on your way. Our approach is flexible, evidence-based, and built around your life, not a template.
Weight-neutral & judgment-free
We use a Health at Every Size framework. Your weight is not a goal here. Your health, energy, and quality of life are.
Culturally sensitive
Food is deeply personal and cultural. We work with your food preferences, traditions, and background, not against them.
Truly integrated with your team
Oscar communicates directly with your psychologist or psychiatrist where relevant, so your nutrition care doesn't exist in isolation.
Practical & sustainable
Every recommendation accounts for your budget, time, cooking ability, and lifestyle. No unrealistic expectations, just real, achievable change.
A note on eating disorders
If you're coming to us with a difficult relationship with food or your body, you're in safe hands. Oscar has specialist training in eating disorder dietetics and understands how complex and sensitive this work is.
We work collaboratively with your psychologist and, where needed, your psychiatrist and GP, using a multi-disciplinary approach that is the gold standard for eating disorder recovery.
There is no pressure, no weigh-ins unless you want them, and no judgment, ever.
Recovery is not a straight line, and nutrition is just one part of the picture. We go at your pace.
