Testimonials
"Julie's approach to dietary control of Diabetes has shown me ways to eat only when the body has a need for food. This controls bodily intake without hunger pains and binges. I find keeping a written log of what is eaten helps maintain an everwatchful approach to what is eaten and the levels of hunger and satisfaction. During the eight months I have been using your methods, 10cm have come off my waist. I am very appreciative and have no hesitation in recommending them to others." Neil W.
Consultations - What to Expect
Consultations are tailored to your individual needs. They involve an initial assessment of your health, food preferences, activity level and relevant lifestyle factors, and are followed up with strategies and support to create long term changes.
Typically 45 minutes to one hour for an initial consultation and half to one hour for follow up sessions depending on your needs.
Do I need a referral?
A referral is not required to come and see a Dietitian, however if your issues are complex it is recommended.
What are the fees?
An initial consultation is between $65 and $115, depending on the time required and income levels.
Follow up consultations vary between $35 and $105, depending on income and time required.
Fees are reviewed annually.
Can I get any money back from my Private Health or Medicare?
For a rebate from Private Health Insurance you need to check with your specific fund with regards to eligibility and the amount of refund you would receive.
Medicare can only provide a rebate if you are referred under a Team Care Arrangement from your local GP; not everyone is eligible so check with your own Doctor. The current rebate is $50.95 (updated in November each year).
