Eating disorders sit where food and feelings meet. Many participants see both, with no out of pocket costs for either when your plan includes the funding.
Our Accredited Practising Dietitians work on the eating itself: regular, adequate meals and the food rules holding the eating disorder in place.
$0 out of pocket$178.99 per 60 minute session, paid from your plan when it includes dietetics funding
Our AHPRA registered psychologists work on what drives the eating disorder: anxiety, body image, shame and the thinking that keeps it going.
$0 out of pocket$252.99 per 60 minute session, paid from your plan when it includes psychology funding
With your consent, your dietitian and psychologist talk to each other and work to the same goals, alongside your support coordinator and GP. Both supports usually come from the same Capacity Building budget, so if funding is tight we will talk through where to start and what your plan can carry.

Eating disorders are the only area we work in. Every presentation is taken seriously, at any age, whatever your body size and whether or not you have a diagnosis.
Sensory and anxiety driven food restriction. Your dietitian widens the foods that feel safe while your psychologist works on the fear, at a pace that holds.
Dietitian PsychologistNutrition rehabilitation with attention to medical safety, alongside therapy for the fear, rules and perfectionism that keep restriction in place.
Dietitian PsychologistRegular eating that takes the edge off urges, and therapy for the triggers, shame and loss of control, with no weight loss focus.
Dietitian PsychologistBreaking the binge and purge cycle by rebuilding regular, adequate eating and working on urges, shame and rigid food rules.
Dietitian PsychologistAtypical anorexia, purging disorder, night eating and patterns that do not fit one box.

Many participants use both: a dietitian for regular, adequate eating, and a psychologist for the thoughts and emotions around food, with no out of pocket costs for either when your plan includes the funding. At Bite Into Freedom both sit under one practice and, with your consent, they talk to each other.
Want more detail on one discipline? Each has its own page with the full team, fees and questions.

Funding, invoicing, cancellations and what actually happens in NDIS dietetics and psychology.
Our intake team can help with NDIS funding, invoicing and whether to start with a dietitian, a psychologist or both.
Yes, for both dietetics and psychology. We work with self managed and plan managed NDIS participants of all ages, by video anywhere in Australia. If your plan includes funding for the support, sessions are paid from your plan and there is no gap fee.
No. You do not need a GP referral, an Eating Disorder Plan or a Mental Health Care Plan to see us as an NDIS participant. You only need funding in your plan that can be used for dietetics or psychology. Book online and we take care of the rest.
Many participants work with both. The dietitian works on eating patterns, food rules, sensory restriction and the practical side of regular eating. The psychologist works on the anxiety, body image, shame and thinking underneath.
If you are not sure where to start, tell us about your situation and your plan, and we will give you a straight answer.
We are taking new NDIS participants for both dietetics and psychology, and live availability is shown on the booking pages for our NDIS dietitians and NDIS psychologists, 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 clinician gets a picture of your history, what is happening now and the goals in your plan, then sets out a clear direction for the work. Nothing has to change on the day, and a parent, carer or support worker is welcome to join if that helps.
Yes. For psychology, Tess Allen sees NDIS participants aged 12 and over and Felicity Staedler sees all ages, so please book children and teens with one of them, and under 12s with Felicity. Deborah, Jared and Louise see clients aged 16 and over. For dietetics, Samantha Wright, Sarah Why and Gabriela Salant see all ages, so please book under 18s with one of them through an NDIS dietitian appointment. Tiarna Foster sees participants aged 18 and over.
There are no out of pocket costs. A 60 minute dietitian session is $178.99 and a 60 minute psychology session is $252.99, both in line with NDIS pricing and paid in full from your plan when it includes the funding. Plan managed invoices go straight to your plan manager, and self managed participants are invoiced directly.
Dietetics and psychology are usually funded under Capacity Building, Improved Daily Living. If you are not sure whether your plan has room for them, ask your plan manager or support coordinator, or email us before you book.
Yes, as long as your plan has funding for both. They usually draw on the same budget, so seeing both uses your funding faster. If funding is tight, we will talk through where to start and what your plan can realistically carry.
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 or psychologist 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 clinician and they will talk it through with you.
Yes. With a plan from your GP, such as an Eating Disorder Plan, a Mental Health Care Plan for psychology or a Chronic Condition Management Plan for dietetics, you can see us with a Medicare rebate at the standard fees on our dietitian and psychologist pages. You cannot claim Medicare and NDIS for the same session.
Eating disorders are the only area we work in, rather than general nutrition advice or general mental health. That includes ARFID, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and OSFED. Dietitians work on regular eating, food rules and sensory restriction, and psychologists on body image, shame, anxiety and the thinking that keeps the eating disorder going.
Yes. Many NDIS participants we see are autistic or have ADHD. Sessions are adapted to sensory needs and how you think and communicate, with the goal of a safe, workable relationship with food, not changing who you are.
All appointments are online by video. Your clinician 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.
