Why nutrition matters

Evidence-based nutrition care for long-term health.

Managing a chronic condition is rarely just about food, but what you eat plays a meaningful role. Our dietitians provide structured, evidence-based nutrition care that works alongside your GP and specialists to support your long-term health.

We focus on practical, sustainable changes that fit into your life, not restrictive rules that are impossible to maintain.

Our approach

Three principles that shape every care plan.

Chronic conditions deserve care that fits real life. These are the principles that guide how we work with every client managing a long-term health condition.

01

Personalised to your condition and your life

Your plan is built around your specific condition, your bloods, your medications, your preferences and your day-to-day life. Generic dietary advice rarely lands. Personalised, practical guidance does.

02

Working alongside your medical team

Nutrition care works best as part of broader medical care. We’re happy to liaise with your GP, endocrinologist, cardiologist or other specialists — with your consent — so everyone is aligned on your goals and progress.

03

Sustainable habits, not restrictive diets

No rigid meal plans, off-limits food lists or short-term restrictive programs. The goal is realistic, sustainable habits that support your condition for the long term.

03

Medicare CDM Plan

Medicare rebates through a Chronic Disease Management Plan.

If you live with a chronic condition, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates on dietitian appointments through a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan from your GP.

Under this scheme, eligible clients can access rebated allied health sessions per calendar year — which can include dietitian consultations.

5

rebated sessions per year

Eligible clients can use these on dietitian consultations to significantly reduce out-of-pocket cost.

If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, your GP is the best person to confirm.

How to access your rebate

Three steps from your GP’s office to your first appointment with us.

01

Book an appointment with your GP

Ask about a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan and whether you're eligible based on your condition.

02

Your GP prepares the plan & referral

If your GP agrees, they will prepare the CDM Plan and a referral for dietetic services.

03

Bring it to your first appointment

We process your Medicare rebate at the time of service — you only pay the gap.

Frequently asked

Chronic Condition Questions.

Common questions we hear from clients managing diabetes, cardiovascular conditions and other chronic health concerns.

Do I need a referral to see a dietitian for a chronic condition?

No referral is required to book a private appointment. However, if you want to access Medicare rebates, you’ll need a referral from your GP under a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan. Your GP can advise whether you’re eligible.

Eligible clients with a chronic condition may access up to five rebated allied health sessions per calendar year through a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan from their GP. Dietitian appointments are included. We can process your Medicare rebate at the time of service, so you only pay the gap.

Nutrition plays an important role in managing many chronic conditions and, in some cases, evidence suggests dietary and lifestyle changes can meaningfully improve markers like blood glucose, cholesterol and blood pressure. Outcomes vary between individuals, and any changes to your management plan should be made in collaboration with your GP and specialists.

Not in most cases. Our approach is built around realistic, sustainable changes rather than complete elimination. Where specific foods do need to be reduced or adjusted, we work with you to find versions, swaps and strategies that still fit your preferences and lifestyle.

Yes. We regularly collaborate with GPs, endocrinologists, cardiologists, nephrologists and other specialists, and can provide updates or correspondence to your medical team where appropriate, with your consent.

Frequency depends on your condition, your goals and where you are in your management. Many clients start with an initial consultation followed by regular reviews every four to six weeks, then move to less frequent maintenance appointments once their plan is established. Your dietitian will recommend a schedule that suits your situation.
