Meet our caregivers
Cassie has recently joined St John of God Health Care to support the dietary requirements of our patients.

Cassie is an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) who recently joined St John of God Burwood and Richmond hospitals supporting the physical health of patients at both hospitals.

Her main focus is on ensuring the menu meets the ACI food standards and ensuring meals served exemplify healthy balanced portions.

She also presents group education sessions on eating a healthy balanced diet and seeing patients one-on-one on a referral basis for individualised nutrition assessment and education.

Cassie believes good nutrition should be achievable and accessible for everyone and believes in finding practical ways that healthy eating can be achieved.
