Supporting Supervision for all Dietitians

About DSRA


DSRA: building a sustainable, strengthened, progressive Dietetics profession through supervision.

Dietitian Supervision Resources Australia is committed to advancing the practice and culture of supervision in Australian dietetics for the benefit of the profession, the community and the clients we serve.

We provide accessible, evidence based, practical resources and embody the spirit of supervision through our commitment to collaboration, the sharing of knowledge, and inclusive support.


In 2015 a small group of dedicated APDs identified a need in the profession; Dietitians were looking for more support for their practice, development and wellbeing. It was clear that the profession could benefit from advancing a culture of supervision for members and this became the working goal of a group of ‘Supervision Advocate’ volunteers.  The first task of the group was to develop a series of professional resources for members of Dietitians Australia (DA) to support the practical implementation of supervision. These resources were published for DA members in 2016 and featured in the members’ resource library.

In 2017 broader advocacy took place, resulting in a series of recommendations to the Board of Dietitians Australia to advance professional supervision for Dietitians in Australia. As part of a staged implementation plan, the recommendation to build an online supervision resource hub for members was accepted by the Board of DA. This endorsement led to content development for the hub, supported by a membership scoping survey (completed in 2018 by 241 DA members). The message was clear: Dietitians want supervision and they need help to deliver and participate in it.

Following many years of volunteer collaboration, the advancements accepted by the Board of DA in 2017 were unable to be actualised due to resource constraints within DA. In 2021 a commitment was made by the Supervision Advocacy Team, to build the proposed supervision resource hub privately, as a service to the profession, and DSRA was launched. 

DSRA remains in open communication with Dietitians Australia and looks forward to supporting the implementaion of anticipated developments in supervision for DA Members.
