Will I receive nutrition advice at my first appointment?

Yes. Where appropriate, your Dietitian may recommend a DEXA Body Composition or Bone Density scan to provide additional information about your muscle mass, body composition or bone health.

DEXA scanning is available onsite at WLC Medical and does not require a GP referral. Your Dietitian can discuss whether a DEXA scan may be useful based on your individual health needs and goals.

ECAL Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing is available as part of your Dietitian consultation at no additional cost.

The test is optional and takes approximately 5 minutes. It provides information about how your body uses energy at rest, which your Dietitian can use alongside your medical history, current eating habits, lifestyle and health goals to help guide personalised nutrition recommendations.

ECAL metabolism testing is not available as a stand-alone service.

Your initial Dietitian consultation is 60 minutes. This gives your Dietitian time to discuss your medical history, current eating habits, lifestyle, symptoms, health goals and any relevant blood test results or medical information.

Follow-up appointments are available as either 30-minute or 60-minute consultations, depending on your individual needs and goals.

Our Dietitian appointment fees are:

Initial Consultation – 60 minutes: $185
Follow-up Consultation – 30 minutes: $135
Extended Follow-up Consultation – 60 minutes: $185

A 10% discount is available for children under 18, students and seniors, and a 25% discount is available for Health Care Card holders and pensioners.

Medicare and private health insurance rebates may be available depending on your eligibility, referral and level of cover. Our administration team may also be able to provide an estimated quote; however, we recommend confirming your rebate directly with your private health insurer.
