Meet Georgia Mcleod
Hi, I’m Georgia (she/her); a Melbourne based Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) and founder of Georgia Mcleod Dietetics.
I hold a Masters of Dietetics (MNutDiet, 2018) and Bachelor of Nutrition Sciences (BNutSc, 2016) from Monash University. I have over 7 years of clinical experience, working at Melbourne’s major tertiary hospitals across a diverse range of clinical areas.
I work at The Royal Children’s Hospital specialising in neurodevelopment and disability, including tube feeding and complex clinical obesity. I have extensive experience supporting infants, children, and adolescents with feeding difficulties, nutrition challenges and growth concerns. I have undertaken additional training in feeding difficulties; including responsive feeding therapy and the Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) approach to feeding.
I am committed to providing inclusive, family-centred care so that every child and family feels supported, respected and empowered in their feeding journey.
