For the GPs, paediatricians and allied health teams around a child.
What we do, how we communicate, and where our scope starts and stops.
Juni is a paediatric allied health clinic for nutrition and feeding. Every clinical nutritionist here is also a trained feeding therapist. Telehealth Australia-wide, home visits in Brisbane.
The kids who land well with us:
If you’re reading that list with a particular family in mind, they’re probably ours.
A plan only works if the child is in it. In paediatrics, outcomes ride on trust and cooperation as much as the treatment itself: a kid who feels safe and heard is a kid who says what’s really going on, and follows a plan they helped build.
So that’s the clinic. The child at the centre of their own care, talked to, not about, never made to perform, with the hard conversations held with parents separately, on purpose. Not a line in our footer; the way every appointment actually runs. The full version, including what a session looks like, lives on The Juni Approach.
Underneath it sits a deliberate team standard: every clinical nutritionist at Juni is also a trained feeding therapist. Clinically, that means the nutrition science and the feeding work come from one clinician, in one session. No split between the what and the how, no second referral for the family to chase, no second stranger for the child to warm up to.
And we bring receipts. Every recommendation is evidence-backed, and we’re research-active, with conference presentations and publications on Our Research you can read before you send anyone our way.
You’ll hear from us. A letter after the initial appointment, updates when the plan changes, and a phone call when something shouldn’t wait for a letter.
We stay in our lane. The nutrition and feeding piece, slotted into the plan you’ve already built. We don’t second-guess your diagnosis, adjust anything outside our scope, or quietly expand the brief.
We escalate to you, not around you. Anything that needs medical eyes goes back to the GP or paediatrician with our reasoning attached, not to the family as a worry to carry.
We work toward the exit. The goal is a family who understands the how and the why well enough not to need us. You get them back better supported than you sent them.
We are: degree-qualified clinical nutritionists, registered, also trained in feeding therapy, working under the National Code of Conduct for health care workers.
We’re not: dietitians. Medicare rebates don’t apply to our appointments; families pay privately, and fees are listed upfront on the booking page. Plan-managed and self-managed NDIS participants are welcome.
And when a child needs something we’re not: we say so early, and we help the family land with the right team. Eating disorder presentations that need an ED-specific service, medical investigations, anything outside the nutrition and feeding piece: we’d rather make one honest phone call than hold a family six months in the wrong place.
No referral letter is required, families can book directly. But a warm handover means we start further down the track, so if you can, send one.
To refer: email hello@junipaediatrics.com.au with the family’s contact details and anything you’d like us to know, with the family’s consent. Or simply hand the family our booking link, and tell them to name you when they book.
What happens next: we confirm receipt, the family hears from us within two business days, and you get a letter after the initial appointment. That’s the loop, closed.
Not sure it’s a fit? Sound it out first. A virtual coffee is always on the table, and there’s no such thing as wasting our time with a “would you see this kid?” email.
A referral your name is safe on.
