Bonnie Hancock is an Accredited Practising Dietitian, with a passion for working one on one with clients to achieve their best health.
Bonnie has enjoyed helping patients improve their health through better nutrition at Merridown for nearly four years. After graduating from Griffith University in 2014, Bonnie spent two years working in weight loss and bariatrics before moving into working at GP Clinics, allowing her to help people with a wide variety of health conditions.

Growing up on the beautiful Coffs Coast in NSW, Bonnie has spent her life in and by the ocean, particularly through the sport of Surf Lifesaving. Bonnie is still a keen Surf Lifesaver and enjoys training, racing and coaching at her local surf club, Kurrawa.
