Fees and Rebates
At Guardian Dietitian, we keep our fees transparent and easy to understand.
You don’t need a care plan or referral before your first appointment — many people start with a private session, and we’ll guide you through the best funding options from there. If appropriate, we can also provide a letter of support after your initial session to help your GP assess whether a care plan is suitable for your needs.
We offer both face‑to‑face and telehealth appointments, and our pricing reflects the time, clinical care, and specialised support we provide while staying as accessible as possible.
If you have any questions please contact us
What happens in the first appointment?
Your initial session is a chance for us to understand you — your health history, your goals, your relationship with food, and what support you need right now. We’ll explore what’s been going on, what’s getting in the way, and what’s most important to you. Together, we’ll create a clear plan for your next steps.
What happens in review appointments?
Review sessions focus on support, troubleshooting, and building on the foundations from your initial appointment. We’ll check in on how things are going, adjust your plan as needed, and help you make steady, sustainable progress.
How many sessions are recommended?
Most people benefit from a series of sessions over time, especially when working on long‑term habits, chronic conditions, or recovery‑related goals. We’ll always tailor the frequency to your needs — some people come weekly or fortnightly at first, while others prefer monthly check‑ins. There’s no pressure or lock‑in; we’ll decide together what feels right for you.
To help you plan your first appointment, here’s a straightforward list of our most common sessions and their fees.
Guardian Dietitian common fees
Private appointments
Private appointments are for patients who are not using a GP referral or Medicare plan. These sessions offer flexible timing, longer appointment options, and full access to our clinical support.

Medicare‑Funded Appointments
These appointments are for patients who have a GP referral — either a Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDMP/EPC) or an Eating Disorder Plan (EDP). Your GP decides your eligibility for these plans based on your health needs and whether ongoing dietetic support would benefit your care. Medicare provides a partial rebate for each session, and the remaining gap covers the extended time and specialised care provided.
