Why do nutritionists need insurance?

Upon completion of this qualification you will be eligible to become a Nationally Recognised Nutritionist (NRN) upon registering with the Nutrition Council of Australia, which is a collaborative industry association that exists to promote positive nutritional information and healthy lifestyle practices within Australia.

It is through this registration process that can become eligible for insurance, for more information read here.

Those who wish to register with Nutrition Council Australia and operate as Nationally Recognised Nutritionist that works directly with clients within the limitations of the NCA endorsed Scope of Practice, are required to have Professional Indemnity and Public Liability & Products insurance.

As a Nutritionist, you provide advice and counselling about diet, food, and nutrition. Most clients would take on your advice and achieve great results, but there is always a chance that a client may experience an unforeseen reaction to your advice or misinterpret part of your plan, which could lead to them holding you legally liable and ask you to pay damages.

For example, you may have meticulously researched an eating plan for a client but a previously undiagnosed allergy to a food type activates an allergic reaction.

Professional Indemnity insurance is intended to help protect you if something goes wrong while you’re providing professional services to your client. Such as a third party alleging that you have been negligent in performing your services or giving advice, and as a result, they have suffered injury or financial loss.
