FAQ

Our fees are as per our fees page and will depend on who you see in our practice. We don’t charge different rates for NDIS funded clients.  Our hourly rate is based on our normal appointment fees.  You can see all of our fees here

We can no longer offer bulk-billed appointments due to the rising living costs and the level of skills and experience that our dietitians have. We want everyone to be able to access good quality health care so we offer a shorter initial appointment for those who need it. This reduces the initial outlay but there will be less time for us to provide eating plans and advice.  A shorter initial appointment will also lead to a shorter gap between follow-up appointments.  Have a look our fees to consider the best appointment type for you. The Medicare rebate is $58 (as at July 2023)

Fees and Rebates

Yes some of our dietitians can visit you in your home. This is particularly useful if you have disabilities or health issues that prevent you from easily accessing our clinic or if your home provides opportunities for assessing your dietary intake or education e.g. meal/recipe development.   

If you are a DVA card holder with a referral from your GP or specialist, we can provide home visits without any gap payment. 

Otherwise, our fees for home visits are $110 for the first visit and $80 for subsequent visits. Visits that involve more than 20km travel one way will incur additional travel fees.  We also offer telehealth (phone or via Zoom) appointments. 

You don’t need a referral to see a dietitian and you can still use private health for a rebate on the fees. A care plan from your GP is required to access Medicare rebates however. 

You can use NDIS funding to see our dietitians If you have a plan manager or are self-managed. When booking please provide your plan manager’s details including their contact number and email address for invoices.  

Our receptionist will give you call to pay over the phone either before or just after you appointment. For regular clients we may send an invoice for payment by electronic bank transfer. 

This varies depending on who you see. Some of our dietitians have a wait of up to 4 weeks where an others will be within a week. Please speak to our receptionist about the current wait times for the dietitian you have in mind.
