Private practice has emerged as a significant and growing area of dietetics employment in Australia, driven by a complex interplay of professional, system, and market factors. Despite this growth, evidence highlights ongoing gaps in how graduates are prepared for the unique demands of private practice, particularly in relation to business capability and transition support. This study sought to establish national consensus among experts on key elements of workforce development for private practice dietetics, including role expectations, competencies, challenges, and strategies for improvement. A modified Delphi approach was undertaken, informed by prior literature. Participants were Australian thought leaders in private practice dietetics workforce development, identified based on extensive professional experience or recognised leadership within the field. Two iterative rounds of questionnaires were completed, with responses assessed using content validity indices. Items achieving a scale content validity index greater than 0.78,[1] were considered to demonstrate strong agreement and were retained to inform a workforce development framework. A total of 46 experts participated in the first round, with 45 completing both rounds, representing all Australian states. Across the two rounds, 116 items achieved high levels of consensus. These spanned multiple domains, including the scope and function of private practice dietitians, essential entry-level competencies, barriers to workforce participation, and strategies to strengthen preparation and support. Strong agreement was observed on the need to expand private practice placement opportunities within accredited programs and to embed business and entrepreneurial skill development within curricula. Ongoing, structured support following graduation was also identified as critical to facilitate successful transition into private practice. This study provides a nationally agreed evidence base outlining priority areas for strengthening the private practice dietetics workforce to inform a workforce development framework. Findings emphasise the importance of coordinated efforts across education providers, accrediting bodies, and the profession to address current gaps and build workforce capacity. The resulting framework will offer a foundation to guide curriculum enhancement, post-graduate support initiatives, and policy development aimed at sustaining and growing this essential area of dietetic practice.
