Frequently Asked Questions

  • Nutritionists play a pivotal role in the realm of complementary medicine, integrating evidence-based practices with traditional wisdom to deliver a comprehensive and holistic health approach. Trained in clinical nutrition, our practitioners adopt an integrative, client-centred model that goes beyond conventional care. Rather than merely addressing symptoms, our focus is in identifying and treating the root causes of illness. Our personalised treatments, shaped by individual medical histories and symptoms promote disease prevention and optimal wellness. We foster a therapeutic partnership, creating a secure clinical space where clients can confidentially explore and address sensitive health concerns. Consulting with a nutritionist isn’t just about receiving advice - it’s embarking on a collaborative journey toward improved health and well-being.

  • Yes, you can often claim private health fund rebates for your nutrition consultations, but the eligibility and rebate amount may vary depending on your health insurance provider and the specific plan you have. To make a claim, follow these steps:

    Keep your invoices and payment receipts from our clinic as they are required for the claim.

    Contact your private health fund to inquire about their specific requirements for nutrition services and whether they cover them.

    Submit your receipts and any necessary forms to your health fund according to their instructions.

    The health fund will process your claim and reimburse you based on the terms of your policy.

    Please note that policies and coverage vary, so it's essential to check with your private health fund for the most accurate and up-to-date information on claiming nutrition services. We're happy to provide any necessary documentation to assist you in the process.

  • We are pleased to offer special discounts for both students and pensioners. To avail of these discounts, simply submit proof of eligibility by email before booking your consultation.
