Child Nutrition

What Child Nutrition does

Child Nutrition is a Melbourne-based paediatric dietetics practice founded in 2009 by Miriam Raleigh, a dietitian who has worked exclusively in paediatric nutrition since 2007 with prior hospital experience in Melbourne and London. The company provides specialist nutrition advice for children from birth through adolescence, serving families, childcare centres, dietitians and parent groups across Australia. Its core offering comprises individual one-on-one consultations, live and on-demand webinars, specialised programs for conditions such as coeliac disease, fussy eating, ADHD, and active teen nutrition, plus group education, clinical supervision for dietitians, childcare menu reviews against Victorian Standards, and media commentary.

The business operates without a proprietary technology platform; the website is built on Squarespace and customer engagement is handled via phone and email enquiries. Revenue is generated entirely through professional services billing across six streams: individual consultations, webinar participation fees, group education, clinical supervision, childcare menu reviews, and media/collaborations. Go-to-market is sales-led and community-led, combining direct enquiry-based outreach with content marketing (blog, email newsletter, webinars) and earned media.

The firm has 46 employees and operates as a privately held, founder-owned practice with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, subsidiaries, or parent entities. Geographic footprint is domestic Australian, with services delivered in-person in Melbourne and online nationally through webinars and on-demand recordings.

Emerging players

• Kids Eat in Color: Digital paediatric nutrition platform offering courses, content, and parent coaching; comparable in delivering fussy eating and feeding education via online channels at greater scale.
• The Nourished Child: US-based paediatric nutrition practice offering online courses and resources for parents; comparable in product mix (online education, courses, webinars) though operating in a different geography.

Direct peers

• Sprout Health & Nutrition: Australian paediatric dietetics practice offering consultations and parent resources; competes in the same paediatric nutrition consulting market with similar webinar and consultation offerings.
• Dietitian Connection: Australian platform connecting consumers to dietitians and offering professional education; directly comparable as a professional services hub in the nutrition space.
• Family Dietetics: Australian dietetics practice focused on paediatric and family nutrition consultations and webinars; direct head-to-head competitor for the same customer base and service mix.
• Inside Out Nutrition: Australian paediatric and family nutrition practice offering consultations and parent education; competes for the same Melbourne/Australian parent segment with similar services.
• Kids Dig Food: Specialist paediatric feeding and nutrition service led by Australian dietitians; offers fussy eating programs and parent education that overlap with Child Nutrition's webinar topics.

Broad incumbents

• Nutrition Australia: National non-profit delivering nutrition education and resources across all ages; broader in scope than Child Nutrition but overlaps in community nutrition education and early childhood feeding advice.

Regional players

• Growing Early Minds: Australian paediatric allied health provider covering dietetics, speech, and OT; serves an overlapping paediatric clinical customer base with a multi-disciplinary model Child Nutrition could expand into.

Others

• Feeding Australia (formerly Eat Well Australia): Australian Government/National Health and Medical Research Council nutrition guidance hub; an enabling/authoritative body whose dietary guidelines Child Nutrition's services align with and cite.
