Dietitian is a protected and regulated title in most countries. In Australia, it means someone is eligible for the title Accredited Practising Dietitian. Dietitians are those who meet university and ongoing professional standards set by Dietitians Australia; and the only nutrition professional who can provide medical nutrition therapy and Medicare or private health rebated nutrition service.

On the other hand, "nutritionist" is a unregulated title, without standardised qualification.

It really depends on your goals, history, how complex the condition is. Some people make meaninful shifts in a few sessions, others prefer ongoing support over several months to build lasting changes. We'll talk about a realistic plan after your initial assessment, and you're always in control of the pace.

No referral is needed to see a dietitian.

however, if you'd like to claim a Medicare rebate through a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP), you'll need to ask your GP to add your preferred dietitian to the care plan document.

You can get up to 5 rebated sessions per year if you have are on a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP). In our clinic, you will need to pay for the full fee and we will process your medicare claim in behalf and the rebate will be sent directly to your bank account.
