The initial appointment provides you the opportunity to explore your main health concerns, share your current eating patterns and outline your goals in a safe, non judgemental space.

We will discuss your medical history, current lifestyle (including family and work) and explore a range of factors concerning your nutrition such as meal times, snacking, portions and more broadly your attitude and relationship with food.

From there, your dietitian will provide recommendations and formulate a tailored plan that gives you clarity, inspiration and actionable things to begin shifting your food choices.  To achieve the best results, this may include a package or program that offers more structure, accountability and support.

This all depends!

In order to get the most out of your appointment and nutrition advice we usually recommend at least 6 appointments to really see true, lasting changes to your eating habits. 

Follow up appointments are generally made fortnightly for close support but can be closer or further apart depending where how you feel and what's happening in your life. This will always be discussed with you and agreed upon together.

These follow up reviews allow you to debrief and troubleshoot any problems, access practical tools and information to help you keep moving forward towards achieving your goal of feeling better.

You may like to consider on our Coaching Programs to help you commit and invest in yourself, rather than trying to do it solo.

No, you don’t have to have a GP referral to make an appointment. You also don’t need one if you wish to pay privately (with or without private health funds).

It is, however, helpful to have your medical history and any relevant tests and investigations on hand at your first appointment.

Yes we do. Care plans can only be generated by your GP so its best to speak to them to check if you’re eligible for one.

We accept the following types of Medicare referrals:

• GP Chronic Condition Care Plan (GPCCMP) - up to 5 subsidised appointments per calendar year (please note, 5 rebates are allocated across all allied health services)
• Eating Disorder Management Plan (EDMP) - up to 20 subsidised appointments per calendar year

These care plans provide a rebate of $61.30 per session.

We do not offer bulk billing as we pride ourselves on delivering a high quality service that allows you and your dietitian time and the necessary conversations to tailor a plan and support to get you to your goals.

Absolutely! Please check with your private health insurance fund to see if your policy contains extras including nutrition or dietetics and what percentage is covered as each person’s policy differs.
