Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to see a Dietitian in North Rocks?

No, you do not need a referral to see us as a private client. You can book directly with our North Rocks team. If you are using NDIS, DVA, or a Medicare Care Plan, we can help you with the specific paperwork needed to get started on your health journey.

How is a Dietitian different from a Nutritionist?

A Dietitian has a university qualification and is accredited to provide medical nutrition therapy for complex conditions. This means we can support you with diabetes, NDIS goals, and clinical health needs. In Australia, the term “Nutritionist” is not regulated in the same way.

Can you help me learn to cook?

Yes, building capacity in the kitchen is a huge part of what we do for NDIS participants. We don’t just give you a meal plan. We can help you learn how to shop, read labels, and prepare simple, healthy meals that support your independence.

Why do you have a 48 hour cancellation policy?

Our 48 hour policy is a mutual commitment to your health goals. When you book a time, we prepare specifically for your needs. By attending your sessions, you ensure consistent progress. This policy also allows us to help other North Rocks residents who are waiting for support.

What happens in a Case Conference?

A Case Conference is where your Dietitian meets with your other therapists to align your plan. For example, they might talk to your Speech Pathologist about safe swallowing textures. This ensures you get safe, consistent care without having to coordinate it yourself.
