Carolyn Davis – Accredited Practising Dietitian

Profile photo of Carolyn Davis, Northern Rivers DieteticsI am an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD ID APD093097) and a member of the Dietitian’s Association of Australia (DAA). I have a Masters Degree in Nutrition & Dietetics from the University of Sydney.

After graduating, I worked at Prince of Wales Hospital, Randwick, gaining invaluable experience in many areas of Clinical Dietetics.  After I moved back to my home here on the North Coast of NSW, I worked at Lismore Base Hospital, and before that at Casino Community Health. I have 18 years experience as a Clinical Dietitian.

In addition to my work in the public health system, I have had a private Clinical Dietitian practice since 2007 at Alstonville and until recently at Casino. Over this time, I have built up a very strong clientele, dealing with mainly Primary Health Care needs.
