Frequently Asked Questions

  • Initial Appointment: 50-60 minutes

    Your first appointment is a comprehensive nutrition & lifestyle assessment to deep-dive into the root cause of your problems. Our aim in this appointment is to work out how we can best help you achieve your goals in a sustainable way. We will chat through your health and nutrition goals, your history, and work together to create a handful of do-able strategies to implement and get you on track to the healthiest version for you.

    Review Appointment: 30 minutes

    We’ll check in on how you’ve been progressing with the goals and strategies we discussed previously. We will continue to implement changes over time until you reach your goals and feel fantastic. I’ll provide ongoing support and ensure these changes stick around for the long-term and troubleshoot any hurdles you may have. Depending on your situation and my professional opinion, you may require more or less review appointments.

    Rebates

    To be eligible for a Medicare rebate, you must have a current Chronic Disease Management Plan (Item no. 10954) or an Eating Disorder Care Plan (Item no. 82350) from your doctor.

    You’ll need to check that this plan has allocated visits to a dietitian and ensure it is referred directly to me to be able to make your claim. Find my referral information down in the last dropbox titled ‘Referral Information for GP Plans’.

    You will need to process the rebate yourself after your appointment - but don’t worry, it’s super easy and takes less than 2 minutes, and I’m here to help! Information on how to process your rebate and receive $61.80 back can be found on your invoice, sent to you after our appointment.

    Private Health Insurance

    If you have Private Health Insurance, the good news is that most Private Health funds cover dietitian appointments! However, the amount of cover will differ between insurers and is dependant on your level of cover. Therefore, it is recommended to contact your Private Health fund prior to your appointment with me if you are hoping to claim Private Health after our consult so you can know exactly how much you are eligible to claim, and how you can process the claim after our appointment.

    FYI: When claiming via private health, use code 500 to for an initial appointment, and code 600 for review appointments.

  • Direct Deposit

    Payment is made via Card Capture. This holds your payment details so your practitioner can process your invoice payment at the end of your appointment.

  • Appointments cancelled or rescheduled within 24 hours of the appointment time will incur a 50% cancellation fee.

    You can reschedule or cancel your appointment by emailing dietitianvictoria@outlook.com

  • I currently consult Monday, Wednesday and Thursday across the late afternoon / evening, and every second Saturday between 10am - 1pm.

    If these times don’t suit you, simply reach out - we can work something out!

  • When your GP is creating your Chronic Disease Management Plan/Enhanced Care Plan or Eating Disorder Treatment Plan, they will ask you for my clinic details. This allows me to be placed as your designated dietitian on your plan, and for you to get rebated dietitian consultations with me.
