What CleanPlate Is
CleanPlate is an Australian health information platform built by qualified nutrition and exercise professionals. We publish freely accessible guides on balanced eating, physical training, hydration and meal preparation. We also offer paid consultations for individuals seeking personalised guidance.
Our name reflects our goal: present information cleanly — free from hidden agendas, commercial bias or unrealistic promises.
Who Creates Our Content
Our team includes professionals with the following credentials:
- Accredited Practising Dietitians (APD) — recognised by Dietitians Australia, the national professional body for dietitians.
- Accredited Exercise Scientists (AES) — credentialed through Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA).
- Health communications specialists — experienced in translating clinical and scientific information into clear, practical guidance for general audiences.
All contributors maintain current professional registrations and undertake ongoing professional development.
Our Editorial Standards
Evidence-based content
We reference Australian dietary guidelines, peer-reviewed research and recognised health authorities. Where evidence is limited, emerging or contested, we say so explicitly rather than presenting speculation as established fact.
No outcome guarantees
Health results depend on genetics, consistency, pre-existing conditions, sleep, stress and many other individual factors. CleanPlate does not promise weight loss, muscle gain, or any specific health outcome. We provide tools and information; outcomes are individual.
No hidden commercial interests
Our guides do not contain paid product placements. We do not accept sponsorship from food manufacturers, supplement companies or equipment brands for inclusion in our educational content. Any future commercial relationship would be clearly and prominently disclosed.
Clear, honest communication
We avoid clickbait headlines, fearmongering, shame-based messaging and emotionally manipulative language. Our writing is designed to inform, not to sell. We trust readers to evaluate information and make their own decisions.
Advertising compliance
All CleanPlate content is designed to meet the advertising policies of major digital platforms and comply with Australian Consumer Law. We do not make misleading health claims, use fabricated testimonials, or imply endorsements that do not exist.
Content Review Process
- Step 1 — Research: Identify the current evidence base, prioritising systematic reviews, clinical guidelines and Australian-specific data.
- Step 2 — Drafting: A qualified team member writes the content, clearly distinguishing facts from interpretation.
- Step 3 — Peer review: A second team member checks accuracy, clarity, tone and compliance with our standards.
- Step 4 — Publish & maintain: Content is published with a date. It is reviewed at least annually or when new evidence warrants an update.
Consultations
In addition to our free content, CleanPlate offers individual and small-group consultation sessions. These are conducted by qualified practitioners and can cover:
- Personalised nutrition planning
- Training programme design
- Hydration and recovery strategies
- Meal preparation coaching

Our position: Good health information should be accessible to everyone, grounded in evidence, and presented without manipulation. We would rather say less with accuracy than say more with uncertainty.
Disclaimer: CleanPlate provides general educational information. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before modifying your diet or exercise programme. Individual results depend on many factors.
