Get to know the latest Allied Health member of TLC Disability Services, Allegra Goldman. As the Dietetics Clinical Services Manager, Allegra’s passion for embracing a holistic approach to health is evident in her work.
Early life and background
Growing up in an active family, Allegra’s journey in this field began at a young age. She was fortunate to enjoy a balanced diet and participate in sports like gymnastics, long-distance running, swimming, and tennis.
Since becoming a personal trainer in 2019, Allegra is continuously reminded of the diversified impact that weightlifting can have on one’s mental and physical well-being. An underlying love for food styling and photography sparked her interest in food science, leading her to the specialised area of nutrition and dietetics. Her degree gave her immense knowledge and practical experience to navigate this complex field.
Understanding firsthand how powerfully interconnected the body and mind are, Allegra is enthusiastic about helping others align their psychological and physical states.
Presently, Allegra is an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) with extensive training in food and nutrition. She creates unique plans for her clients based on their behaviours and lifestyle commitments to ensure success. Working with other healthcare practitioners, she uses evidence-based therapy to assess an individual’s nutritional needs and address food and nutrition challenges.

She offers funding options for her dietetic services, including Improved Daily Living, My Aged Care, Medicare, and more. She is available at Tender Loving Care’s office in Bankstown and external locations such as schools, workplaces, client homes, supported accommodation centres, and telehealth.
