Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my NDIS plan for dietetics in Batemans Bay?

Yes, dietetics is usually funded under the Improved Health and Wellbeing or Improved Daily Living categories of your NDIS plan. This covers your appointments, meal planning, and skill building. We will map out a clear plan so you know exactly how your funding is being used.

What is your cancellation policy for dietetics?

We ask for 48 hours notice if you need to cancel a session. We see this as a mutual commitment between you and our team. Giving us notice means we can offer that time to someone else in the community who needs support.

Do private clients need to pay before the appointment?

Yes, we ask for pre-payment from all new private clients. This allows us to focus entirely on your care when you arrive. It ensures consistency in your booking and keeps our paperwork simple.

Will my dietitian speak with my speech pathologist?

Absolutely, we use internal case conferences across 7 disciplines to coordinate your care. If you have swallowing difficulties, your dietitian and speech pathologist will work together. This means you get safe and consistent support to maximise autonomy.

Do you write NDIS review reports for dietetics?

Yes, we write detailed reports before your NDIS plan review. We document how our sessions have helped you build capacity with food and nutrition. We ensure your local area coordinator understands exactly what ongoing support you need.
