Can I choose which dietitian I see?
Absolutely. You’re welcome to select a dietitian based on your needs, preferences, or location. Our friendly team can also help match you with the best practitioner for your goals and funding type.
Will I see the same dietitian each time?
Yes — we believe in building long-term, trusting relationships. You’ll usually see the same dietitian for ongoing care, ensuring consistency and personalised support.
Do you offer home visits and telehealth?
Yes. Our dietitians provide both home visits (across Melbourne, regional Victoria, Queensland, and NSW) and telehealth consultations Australia-wide, so you can access expert nutrition support wherever you live.
What can I expect at my first appointment?
Your dietitian will take time to understand your health history, goals, and food preferences. Together, you’ll develop a practical, achievable nutrition plan that fits your lifestyle — no fads, no judgment, just real-world guidance.
