About MDC

MDC was founded as a private practice in 1986 providing individual consulting.

We are constantly adapting our services through liaison and discussion clients, research and our professional association. Our aim is to consistently excel at meeting the needs of our customers.

Cathy Thesing took over as chief dietitian and director in November 2002. Since then MDC has grown into Melbourne’s largest private practice by providing specialized services to aged care facilities, hospitals, state and local government, institutions and businesses, large and small as well as maintaining its individual client care.

Our clinical services for hospitals and aged care facilities embrace individual care of the patient/resident as well as educational support for staff and family. It is a holistic approach that provides our customers with a complete service.

Menu reviews and food services cater for the needs of the customer and cover the special dietary needs of individuals with various conditions.

Educational presentations are required for many customers. These may be required and requested to assist nursing staff, food service staff, support staff and to facilitate and support doctors with specialized information.

Individual consulting forms the backbone of our work. For staff it is highly enjoyable and professionally fulfilling role to assist our clients achieve their personalised goals.
