Specialist dietetic care, without leaving the region.
Accredited Practising Dietitians who live and work locally.
Our Story
High Country Nutrition and Dietetics started with a simple, frustrating observation: people in the Northeast Victoria and Border regions who needed specialist dietetic care, but didn't fit the traditional public health model, were being sent away to get it.
Founder Deanna Cook spent over a decade building deep clinical experience across regional Victorian hospitals and eight years in Canada, working in settings ranging from traditional inpatient care to primary care. During this time, she developed particular expertise in women's and children's health, sports nutrition, eating disorders, complex chronic disease and healthy ageing. When she and her family returned home to Northeast Victoria in 2022, she found that gap had only grown wider. In 2023, she set out to close it.
What started as a solo practice has grown into a team of four passionate dietitians, bringing specialist-level, evidence-based care close to home, for babies, kids, adults and those living their golden years.
Specialist expertise, close to home.
You shouldn't have to leave the region for care. We believe everyone deserves access to clear, personalised, evidence-based nutrition support, delivered by a team who knows regional life, because we live it too.
