Preparing for the exams
The examination questions are based on the National Competency Standards for Entry Level Dietitians and are benchmarked to that of entry level (new graduate) dietitians practising in Australia. The examinations assess a candidate’s competence to practise in the Australian setting and this is an important consideration in preparation for sitting the examinations.
Access to a range of Exam Preparation Resources is provided to support overseas educated dietitians who have applied for recognition of their dietetic qualifications by DAA. These resources may be useful in preparation for sitting the professional examinations in dietetics.
All candidates are strongly recommended to undertake some self-guided study to refresh their knowledge in the core dietetic areas, especially focusing on areas they have not recently practised in.
