Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Dietitian in Hornsby?

No, you do not need a referral to book an appointment as a private patient. While many of our clients are referred by GPs via Chronic Disease Management plans, you can simply call our Hornsby team to schedule your initial consultation today.

Is Dietetics covered by the NDIS?

What happens during the first Dietetics consultation?

Your first session is a deep dive into your health history and your daily routine. We talk about your goals, your favorite foods, and any medical conditions you have. We do not just hand you a menu. We start building a realistic strategy that fits your life in Hornsby.

Can a Dietitian help with more than just weight loss?

Yes, Dietitians are university trained experts in treating a wide range of medical conditions. While we do help with weight management, we also treat gut issues, manage blood sugar levels, and help people improve their relationship with food and body image.

Do your therapists talk to each other about my care?

Yes we hold active case conferences to ensure your whole team is aligned. This is the multidisciplinary advantage. If you are seeing a dietitian and a physiotherapist at our Hornsby clinic, they will talk to each other. This means you do not have to repeat your story every time and your roadmap stays clear and connected.
