What to expect

The initial appointment is where I learn all about you! 

We will discuss what brings here ; your history, lifestyle, motivations, struggles, and consider how we can work together to help you reach your goals. This process can sometimes require longer than a single session, and may be completed across the several sessions.

Note: 90 min sessions have recently become available. Longer sessions may be suitable for initial appointments, if you have a complex presentations/conditions, or are needing more support.

During review consults, we check in with your progress, chat through what is and isn't working, and determine how to move forward.

Some will only request or require a handful of appointments, while others will benefit from long-term involvement.

You can just make an appointment. That said, you might be eligible for a Medicare rebate if you go to your GP first and discuss this with them.

I am registered with Medicare and with most Australian private health providers. 

Medicare rebates are available to clients who have a chronic condition and complex care needs being managed by a medical practitioner (GP). GP referrals must be accompanied by a signed Referral Form for Allied Health Services to be eligible for a Medicare rebate.

Medicare rebates are available for dietetics under the following two care plans:

Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDMP) with Team Care Arrangements (TCAs) 

• 10954: Dietetic Consultation

Under this Medicare plan/item number, clients can receive up to 5 rebates of $60.35 within a calendar year for consultations with eligible allied health practitioners.

Eating Disorder Care Plan (EDP) 

• 82350: Dietetic Consultation for Eating Disorders

Under this Medicare plan/item number, clients can receive up to 20 rebates of $60.35 within a 12 month period for consultations with eligible allied health practitioners. 

If you would like to claim dietetic consultations through Medicare please speak to your GP about your eligibility for the above plans. More information relating to the EDP can be found under Resources.

All 60min sessions are priced at $175. Upon payment, your clinician will either:

• Provided a copy of your completed invoice (option for private health claiming)
• Make a Medicare claim on your behalf, and you will be reimbursed the Medicare rebate in following days

90 min sessions have recently become available priced at $250. Longer sessions may be suitable for initial appointments, if you have a complex presentations/conditions, or are needing more support.

 We are able to provide services for plan-managed and self-managed NDIS participants under the following support categories:

• Core Support: Assistance with Daily Life
• Capacity Building: Improved Health and Wellbeing
• Capacity Building: Improved Daily Living

We are not currently operating as a registered NDIS provider. This means that we are unable to accept referrals using agency-managed NDIS funds. 

At NFEB, we recognise there are many factors that contribute to our financial access, determined largely by systems of power that discriminate against race, perceived gender, sexuality, disability, immigration status and socioeconomic status, among many other overlapping sociocultural factors and identities. We see this within health systems which consistently fail to support marginalised communities and people of diverse backgrounds. 

If you are experiencing barriers to accessing care, we would like to hear from you to discuss possible reduced-rates depending on personal circumstance.
