Are testing and supplements included in the price of my nutrition consult?
While the price of your nutrition consultation covers a comprehensive dietary assessment and personalised guidance, it does not include additional tests such as pathology, GI-MAP testing or prescribed supplements. If additional testing or supplements are recommended, we’ll discuss these options with you during your consultation to ensure you have a clear understanding of any associated costs.

Is my nutrition consultation covered by Medicare?
Nutrition consults are not covered by Medicare; however, you may be eligible for a private health insurance rebate. The rebate amount varies depending on your health fund and level of cover. If you’re uncertain about your coverage for nutrition services, we recommend contacting your health fund directly to inquire about eligibility and rebate percentages.
