Compare dietitians in Australia.

Dietitian fees vary depending on the provider, the length of the appointment and whether it’s an initial or follow-up consultation. Initial consultations usually cost more because they take longer. Bobbi helps you compare fees and availability before you choose who to contact.

It depends on your policy. Dietitian consultations may be included under extras cover, but limits, waiting periods and rebates vary between health funds. Check your policy or contact your insurer to confirm what applies.

Some people may be eligible for Medicare-subsidised allied health services, including dietitian appointments, through a GP-managed care plan. Eligibility and the number of subsidised visits are determined by your GP, so it’s best to speak with them about whether this applies to you.

Generally, you can book a private dietitian appointment without a referral. A referral may be required for some Medicare-funded or other funded services.

Dietitians are university-qualified to give nutrition advice, including for medical conditions. Many are Accredited Practising Dietitians, a credential from Dietitians Australia. Nutritionists usually focus on general healthy eating, and their qualifications can vary, so it’s worth asking about a provider’s training.

Many dietitians offer telehealth appointments, while others see clients in person or offer both. Bobbi shows each provider’s appointment options so you can compare.

Useful things to compare include consultation fees, appointment length, availability, telehealth or in-person options, areas of focus and whether the provider accepts health funds or care plans.

No. Bobbi is a comparison service that helps you explore dietitian and nutrition provider options. Bobbi does not provide nutrition advice, treatment or medical advice.
