NDIS Dietitians For eating disorders, anywhere in Australia

Yes. We work with self managed and plan managed NDIS participants of all ages, by video anywhere in Australia. If your plan includes funding for dietetics, sessions are paid from your plan and there is no gap fee.

No. You do not need a GP referral or a Medicare plan to see us as an NDIS participant. You only need funding in your plan that can be used for dietetics. Book online and we take care of the rest.

We are taking new NDIS participants, and live availability is shown on the booking page, so you can choose a time now rather than wait for a call back. If nothing on the calendar suits, speak with our teamcall 03 9001 9100 and we will look at what is opening up.

Your first session is 60 minutes by video. Your dietitian goes through your history, how eating looks day to day, any sensory or medical factors and the goals in your plan. Nothing has to change on the day, and you leave with a plan for the next few weeks. A parent, carer or support worker is welcome to join if that helps.

Yes. Samantha Wright, Sarah Why and Gabriela Salant see all ages, so please book under 18s with one of them. Tiarna Foster sees participants aged 18 and over. Parents and carers are usually part of sessions for younger participants. If a psychologist would also help, Tess Allen sees NDIS participants aged 12 and over and Felicity Staedler sees all ages.

A 60 minute session is $178.99, in line with the NDIS price for dietetics, and the same price applies whichever dietitian you see. Plan managed invoices go straight to your plan manager, and self managed participants are invoiced directly.

Dietetics is usually funded under Capacity Building, Improved Daily Living. If you are not sure whether your plan has room for it, ask your plan manager or support coordinator, or email us before you book.

No. We are not a registered NDIS provider, so we work with self managed and plan managed participants. If your plan is agency managed, also called NDIA managed, you will need a registered provider, and we are happy to point you in the right direction.

We ask for at least 24 hours notice to change or cancel. Late cancellations and missed sessions are charged at the full session price, which NDIS pricing allows providers to claim from your plan.

Yes. Your dietitian can write a progress report for your plan review or a funding request, and can work alongside your support coordinator, GP and therapy team. Report writing takes time outside sessions, which NDIS pricing allows us to charge to your plan, so ask your dietitian and they will talk it through with you.

Yes. With an Eating Disorder Plan or a Chronic Condition Management Plan from your GP, you can see us with a Medicare rebate at the standard fees on our dietitian page. You cannot claim Medicare and NDIS for the same session.

Eating disorders are the only area we work in, rather than general nutrition advice. That includes ARFID and sensory based food restriction, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and OSFED, rebuilding mealtime routines, and working towards nutrition goals in your plan. Our dietitians Samantha Wright, Sarah Why and Gabriela Salant see all ages.

Yes. Many NDIS participants we see are autistic or have ADHD. Sessions are adapted to sensory needs and how you communicate, with the goal of eating that feels safe and meets your needs, not changing who you are.

All appointments are online by video. Your dietitian sends a secure link before your session, and you join from a phone, tablet or computer. There is no travel and no waiting room, which suits participants in regional areas and anyone who finds clinic visits hard.

We are not a crisis service and cannot respond urgently. In an emergency call 000. For support right now, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or the Butterfly National Helpline on 1800 33 4673.
