NDIS Dietitian Gold Coast

Who We Are and How We Can Help

At MNT Diagnostics, we work closely with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to provide tailored dietary plans and nutritional support for individuals requiring tube feeding. Our expert tube specialist dietitian, Joshua Morgan APD, works with people of all ages and with any condition that necessitates the use of a feeding tube, ensuring personalised care and support.

Our tube specialist dietitian offers consultations and creates individualised plans to address the unique needs of those using a feeding tube, including formula prescription, blended tube feeds, nutrient prescription, tube care, advice on grocery shopping, and strategies to enhance overall health and mood through proper nutrition with a feeding tube. Located in Robina, we proudly serve individuals from the Gold Coast region, ensuring accessible and high-quality dietetic care.

We are the only ones in the region who utilise nutrition diagnostic machinery, which allows us to accurately prescribe your exact nutrition needs for tube feeding, rather than relying on estimations. This advanced technology ensures that you are receiving everything you need and allows us to track your nutritional intake precisely.

Common conditions covered by the NDIS that may require tube feeding include:

  • Cerebral Palsy

  • Neuromuscular Disorders (e.g., muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy)

  • Traumatic Brain Injury

  • Stroke

  • Head and Neck Cancer

  • Motor Neurone Disease (ALS)

  • Severe Intellectual Disabilities

  • Cystic Fibrosis

  • Severe Gastrointestinal Disorders (e.g., gastroparesis, severe IBD)

  • Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS)

  • Genetic and Metabolic Disorders

  • Severe Autism Spectrum Disorder

Whether you need support for tube feeding, sports and performance nutrition, or other dietary needs, we are here to help you achieve your health goals.

NDIS funding can cover many of our services, and we also offer a free ‘NDIS Planning Session’ for those who do not yet have dietitian funding. During this session, we conduct a general assessment and provide an advocacy letter to help secure the necessary funding from NDIS. Our team is dedicated to ensuring you have access to the dietetic support you need to thrive.

NDIS Dietitian Services for Tube Feeding and Nutritional Support

Tube feeding requires specialised dietetic support, and at MNT Diagnostics, we provide expert nutritional assistance for various types of tube feeding, including nasogastric (NG), percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and jejunostomy (PEJ). Our dietitians ensure optimal nutrition tailored to each individual's needs.

We support a diverse range of clients, particularly parents, caregivers, and partners of patients transitioning to tube feeding. Whether newly discharged from the hospital or needing ongoing management, our goal is to provide continuous nutritional support. Using our state-of-the-art metabolism and medical body composition scanning machines, we accurately monitor and adjust nutrition plans to ensure quality of life and nutritional adequacy.

Our dietitians offer personalised consultations to address any challenges with tube feeding, providing practical advice on managing feeding regimens, troubleshooting issues, and optimising nutrient intake. Our comprehensive approach ensures the best possible care and support throughout the tube-feeding journey.

At MNT Diagnostics, we are committed to helping you achieve the best health outcomes and improve overall well-being through tailored nutritional support. If you or someone you care for needs specialised dietetic services for tube feeding, we are here to help.
