A–Z Service Directory

Eastern Health provides a combined Dietetic and Speech Pathology feeding clinic for infants and young children.

The clinic will accept referrals if feeding is the primary issue.

For example

• Fussy eating / food refusal
• Failure to thrive
• Texture transitionin
• Ages 6 months– 5 year olds If you have already seen your Maternal Child Health Nurse / Lactation Consultant.

The clinic will not be able to accept referrals if feeding is not the primary issue.

For example, complex feeding issues that require a multidisciplinary service, for example Cerebral Palsy, Developmental Delay and Autism. These referrals would be more appropriately directed to a multidisciplinary service i.e. Early Intervention / Specialist Children's Services.
