New Patients
At Scope Nutrition, our dietitians are dedicated to helping you. We will discuss your health and nutritional concerns and then detail how we can assist you.
You can book an appointment directly through our online booking system or get a referral from your GP if you have a chronic condition and have discussed a management plan or Team Care Arrangements (TCA) with them.
The Initial Consultation
When you arrive, you will be greeted by reception and asked to sign a consent form as well as simple questionnaire.
Your first appointment takes approximately 45 minutes. During this time, Jo or Loretta will meet with you for an in-depth discussion of your health and fitness concerns or goals. Please ensure you bring along relevant information including test results, referral letters as well as a list of medications. This open and confidential discussion includes evaluating your usual food and fluid intake, eating behavior, the timing of meals and activity levels.
Once this information has been gathered, a nutritional plan will be formulated together. Your needs may be suited to seeing Jo or Loretta, and in some cases, you may see both of them, depending on your requirements for achieving your individualized goals.
Most follow-up consultations take 30 minutes, however we can allocate additional time if required.
Private Health Rebates
You may be eligible for a rebate depending on your private health cover level. Look for the ancillary coverage in the description of your benefits. Schedule your evaluation with our convenient online booking system!
