Bite Into Freedom

Eating Disorder Recovery Centre

The Centre Difference

Two Disciplines.
One Recovery Plan.

Eating disorders sit at the intersection of nutrition and psychology. Treating only one half rarely creates lasting recovery. At Bite Into Freedom, both clinicians work together on your case, in real time.

Pillar One

Dietitian Care

Our accredited dietitians address the physical and behavioural side of recovery: stabilising eating patterns, challenging food rules, and rebuilding trust with food.

Nutritional rehabilitation and meal support

Breaking the binge purge cycle through consistent eating

Sensory and texture work for ARFID

Weight neutral, non diet approach

APD Accredited | Medicare Registered
Book A Dietitian

Pillar Two

Psychology Care

Our AHPRA registered psychologists address the emotional and cognitive drivers: anxiety, body image, shame, trauma, and the patterns of thinking that maintain the eating disorder.

CBT-E, ACT, and DBT informed therapy

Body image, shame, and self worth work

Anxiety, OCD, and trauma underlying restriction

Neurodiversity affirming, ADHD and autism informed

Both clinicians coordinate on your care, with shared notes and weekly case discussion.

The Roadmap

Your Recovery
Journey

Recovery isn't linear, and it doesn't look the same for everyone. But there's a clinically proven path that most people move through. Here's what working with our centre actually looks like.

Start Your Journey
01

Initial Consultation

A deep dive into your story, history, and what you're struggling with. We assess whether you'd benefit from a dietitian, psychologist, or both, and outline a clear plan.

02

Stabilisation

The early weeks focus on safety: regular eating, reducing the most distressing behaviours, and grounding the nervous system. We move at a pace your body and mind can tolerate.

03

Active Recovery Work

The heart of treatment. Challenging food rules, working through fear foods, addressing body image, processing the underlying anxiety, shame, or trauma. Dietitian and psychologist coordinate weekly.

04

Consolidation

Building flexibility and confidence. Sessions become less frequent as you practise the skills in real life: social eating, travel, stressful events. Relapse prevention work begins here.

05

Recovery & Beyond

Maintenance and freedom. Optional check ins to keep you supported, with the tools to navigate life's curveballs without slipping backwards. Recovery becomes a stable foundation, not a daily fight.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions

Everything you need to know about eating disorder treatment, Medicare access, and working with our centre.

01 / Getting Started

Should I see a dietitian, a psychologist, or both for an eating disorder?

Most people in eating disorder recovery benefit from both an accredited dietitian and an AHPRA registered psychologist. A dietitian focuses on nutritional rehabilitation, food rules, and meal patterns. A psychologist addresses underlying anxiety, body image, shame, trauma, and emotion regulation. Our integrated team works together with shared notes and weekly case discussions. We can advise on the right starting point during your initial consultation.

Do I need a GP referral to start eating disorder treatment?

No, you do not need a GP referral to book your initial consultation with our dietitian or psychologist team. If you wish to claim Medicare rebates, your GP can provide a Mental Health Care Plan (10 psychology sessions) or an Eating Disorder Management Plan (20 dietitian + 40 psychology sessions in a 12 month period). We will guide you through the process.

Do I need a formal diagnosis to access eating disorder treatment?

No. You do not need a formal diagnosis to access our support. If food rules, restriction, bingeing, purging, body image distress, or emotional eating are affecting your life, you deserve clinical support today. We provide comprehensive assessments to help guide your individual recovery journey, with or without a diagnosis.

Am I sick enough to get eating disorder help?

Yes. Eating disorders are mental illnesses, not weight illnesses. Many people with serious eating disorders are at a normal or higher weight. If your relationship with food, exercise, or your body is causing distress or impacting your life, you are sick enough and deserve support. Early intervention dramatically improves recovery outcomes.

What happens in my first session at an eating disorder centre?

Your initial consultation (60 minutes with a dietitian, 50 minutes with a psychologist) is a deep dive into your story, history, and current struggles. Your clinician will gather a clinical picture, discuss your goals, and outline a clear next step. We do this in a completely judgement free space. Together we will determine whether you would benefit from a dietitian, psychologist, or both.

02 / Pricing & Costs

How much do dietitian and psychologist sessions cost?

Below are our standard session fees, plus the gap you would pay after the Medicare rebate.

Dietitian Sessions

Initial Consultation

60 minutes

$220

Gap with EDP: $156.60

Review Session

45 minutes

$190

Gap with EDP: $126.60

Psychology Sessions

Registered Psychologist

50 minutes

$260

Gap with MHCP/EDP: $158.45

Clinical Psychologist

$310

Gap with MHCP/EDP: $160.95

Rebates as of 1 July 2026. Every psychology session is 50 minutes, and clinical psychologist sessions attract a higher rebate ($149.05) than registered psychologist sessions ($101.55). Private health insurance may further reduce your gap fee.

What will I actually pay after the Medicare rebate?

Your gap fee is the difference between our session fee and the Medicare rebate. Dietitian sessions under an EDP attract a $63.40 rebate, leaving a gap of $156.60 for a 60 minute initial or $126.60 for a 45 minute review. Psychology sessions are 50 minutes. A registered psychologist session attracts a $101.55 rebate under either an MHCP or EDP, leaving a gap of $158.45. Clinical psychologist sessions attract a higher rebate of $149.05, leaving a gap of $160.95. Private health insurance may further reduce your out of pocket cost.

How do I get an Eating Disorder Plan (EDP) from my GP?

Book a long appointment with your GP and explain you want to be assessed for an Eating Disorder Management Plan. Your GP will assess against the Medicare eligibility criteria, complete the EDP, and provide a referral. You can start working with our team before this is finalised, and we collaborate directly with your GP throughout the process.

Do you bulk bill or accept private health insurance?

We do not bulk bill. We lodge your Medicare claim for you after each session, and your rebate usually lands in your bank account within 1 to 3 business days, so you are only out of pocket for the gap fee. We also accept private health insurance rebates with most major Australian funds (Bupa, Medibank, HCF, NIB, AHM, and others). We give you an itemised receipt with the provider number so you can claim through your fund.
