The skills assessment & RPL pathway for Dietitian

For a Dietitian (ANZSCO 251111), Dietitians Australia conducts the migration skills assessment, evaluating your dietetics qualification against Australian standards and assessing English. Depending on your qualification, the pathway may involve additional steps toward the Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) credential.

This is a professional assessment, not VET Recognition of Prior Learning. Dietetics is self-regulated through the APD credential rather than AHPRA registration, but many employers expect APD status. English requirements apply.

Evidence typically required

• Dietetics qualification with academic transcripts and course details
• Curriculum and supervised practice details as requested
• English language test results meeting the required standard
• Detailed CV and employment references
• Passport and identity documents
