How listings work
Where the listings come from
The listings are read every week from the HPCSA register (dietitians, register DT, and nutritionists, register NT) and from the public directories that list dietitians: Medpages, DoctorsNearMe, ADSA's Find a Registered Dietitian, MyMedicalAid, RecoMed, Bookem and Mediclinic's find-a-practitioner search. A person found on more than one source is one listing, joined on the HPCSA number, the practice number or the name and town. These listings were read in October 2026.
Who is listed
A dietitian or nutritionist is listed when at least one public directory lists them. Most listings are matched to the HPCSA register; a listing with no match shows no HPCSA number. Someone found only on the HPCSA register has a page that opens from a direct link but appears in no list, search or count. So does a listing the register shows as suspended, erased, terminated, expired or closed, until the register shows it active again. A town or city with fewer than 3 listings still has its page, but the page is not offered to search engines.
What a listing shows
The name, category, job titles, HPCSA number and the status the register shows for it (such as active, suspended or erased), the suburb, city and province, the areas of interest the dietitian or nutritionist lists, a first consultation fee where the dietitian or nutritionist publishes one, languages, the medical aids they name, whether they see clients online, their own website and links to every source profile. An area of interest is the dietitian’s own choice from the ADSA list, as published in ADSA’s Find a Registered Dietitian search; it is not a qualification or a review.
What a listing never shows
Phone numbers, email addresses or bio text. Contact happens through the dietitian or nutritionist's own site or a source profile.
Order
City, category and areas of interest lists put the listings with the most details first (the share of listing fields the dietitian or nutritionist has filled in), then go alphabetically by name. The home page shuffles its first page on every rebuild so nobody is first by design.
Claiming, correcting and removing
Every listing page links to a form to claim it, to ask for a correction, or to ask for it to be removed. A removal is honoured by hand after a check and does not come back when the site is rebuilt.
