Health Fund Rebates:

Health fund rebates are available from some health funds for nutrition and counselling consultations depending on your level of cover.

Nutritional Supplements:

Practitioner only products will only be prescribed following a nutritional consultation or where a re-supply is required. I choose to prescribe practitioner only products to ensure the highest quality supplement is used in your treatment plan. Cost of prescribed supplements is additional to consultation fee.

Continuing Professional Education:

I am committed to keeping my evidence-based knowledge up to date in both nutrition and counselling modalities.
