How Our Dietitian Fees Work.
Body Fusion is a private dietetics practice, and appointments are seen by Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs). Fees reflect the length and type of appointment, and current pricing for each appointment type is shown when you book online, so you can see the cost before you confirm a time.
Telehealth consultations are available Australia-wide and are booked the same way as in-clinic visits.
Our current fees (as at September 2026) are $195 for an initial consultation and $105 for a follow-up appointment. Telehealth appointments are the same price as in-clinic visits. Sports consultations and couples consultations are priced differently; the current fee for each is shown when you book online, or the reception team can confirm it for you.

Medicare Chronic Disease Management and Eating Disorder Plans.
If you are managing an eligible chronic condition, you may be able to access Medicare-subsidised dietitian appointments through a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, often still called a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan. Your GP prepares the plan and refers you to a dietitian, and where you qualify it provides access to rebated allied health sessions each calendar year.
A CDM plan gives access to up to five rebated allied health sessions per calendar year.
These sessions are shared across all the allied health services you use, not five for dietetics alone. The Medicare rebate for a dietitian session is currently $63.40 (as at September 2026), so there is an out-of-pocket cost. For example, if the full rebate applies, you would pay $131.60 for a $195 initial consultation and $41.60 for a $105 follow-up.
01
Referral
your GP decides if you are eligible and prepares the CDM plan and referral
02
Rebated sessions
up to five allied health sessions per calendar year, shared across your allied health providers
03
Rebate amount
currently $63.40 per session, set by Medicare, with the difference between the rebate and the fee as your out-of-pocket cost
04
Credential
the APD credential is recognised by Medicare for these rebates
Many private health funds provide rebates for dietitian consultations under their extras cover. The amount you can claim depends on your fund, your level of cover and any annual limits, so it is worth checking your policy or contacting your fund before your appointment.
Body Fusion does not process private health claims on the day. You pay for your appointment, and we send you an invoice that you can submit to your fund to claim your rebate. You do not need a GP referral to use your extras cover for a private dietitian appointment. Please note that you cannot claim both Medicare and private health rebates for the same appointment.
eligible cardholders can access dietetic services with a valid DVA referral from their GP, and Body Fusion processes the claim
self-managed and plan-managed participants are welcome and can use their funding for dietetic support, subject to their plan goals
Your first appointment is longer because it covers a full assessment: your history, your goals, your lifestyle and the plan that fits them. Follow-up appointments are shorter and are where much of the real progress happens, giving you a consistent point of accountability and support to build sustainable habits between visits.
Ongoing follow-up is more than a plan review. It is regular, personalised support that helps you stay on track, adapt as life changes and keep momentum, which is why ongoing support often works better than a single visit.
