Dietitian Fees & Rebates

Seeing an Accredited Practising Dietitian shouldn’t come with hidden costs. Here’s a clear guide to dietitian session fees, the Medicare rebates you may be able to claim, and the other ways your sessions can be funded at Vitality Unleashed.

Private service · not bulk-billed

Our session fees

Your first (initial) consultation attracts a one-off surcharge over and above the standard subsequent-session fee, reflecting the extra time spent on your initial assessment, history and personalised plan.

Tegan Tudor
Accredited Practising Dietitian
Medicare rebate $63.40 per session
Initial
$180
Subsequent
$105

Your out-of-pocket “gap” is the difference between the fee and the rebate — $41.60 per subsequent session, for eligible clients with a current plan.

With the right referral & plan

Medicare rebates

With the right referral and plan from your GP or psychiatrist, Medicare rebates part of the cost of each dietitian session:

Accredited Practising Dietitian
Rebate per session (20+ minutes)
$63.40

The dietitian rebate is a set amount per session, regardless of how long the consultation runs. Rate applies from 1 July 2026; Medicare indexes it each 1 July. The difference between our fee and the rebate is your out-of-pocket “gap.”

Referral plans that unlock rebates
20
Eating Disorder Plan (EDP/EDMP)

Up to 20 Medicare-rebated dietitian sessions within a 12-month referral period (alongside up to 40 psychology sessions).

5
GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP)

Up to 5 Medicare-rebated allied health sessions per calendar year, shared across all your allied health providers — your GP decides how many go toward dietetics.

You don’t need a referral to book a dietitian appointment with us — but a current plan is needed if you’d like to claim a Medicare rebate. Your GP can tell you which plan suits your situation.

Other ways to fund your sessions

Private health insurance

Many funds offer a rebate on dietetics under “extras” cover. You can’t claim Medicare and private health for the same session — check your cover directly.

NDIS

We welcome self-managed NDIS participants only where dietetics is funded in your plan. Our standard consultation fees apply and must be paid in full before your appointment. We’ll then provide a receipt so you can claim reimbursement from your own NDIS plan funds — the NDIS reimburses dietetics consultations at $178.99, so where our fee is higher than this you’ll be out of pocket the difference. We are not a registered NDIS provider, so we’re unable to see plan-managed or NDIA-managed participants.

WorkCover & insurers

Where dietetics is approved and funded by WorkCover Queensland or an insurer, we arrange this directly with the funder, with written approval confirmed before your first appointment.

Self-funded

You’re welcome to see our dietitian privately, with no referral or funding — simply pay the consultation fee.

Pre-paid practice

Paying for your appointment

3
Business days ahead

Dietitian appointments are pre-paid in full no later than three business days before your session.
