Can I get a rebate from Medicare or private health?

You may be eligible for a Medicare rebate for a dietitian (APD) if you have a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan (formerly EPC) from your GP. Most major private health funds offer rebates for dietitians, and some also cover Registered Nutritionists, depending on your level of cover. Always check with your provider and the practitioner.

What's the difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian?

This is important. In Australia, "Dietitian" is a protected title. An Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) has completed a university degree in nutrition and dietetics and is regulated by Dietitians Australia. They are qualified to work in clinical settings and provide medical nutrition therapy. The term "Nutritionist" is not protected, so anyone can use it. However, a Registered Nutritionist (RN) or Clinical Nutritionist will have completed a degree in nutrition science. Always check for qualifications (like 'APD' or 'RN') on their profile.

Do I have to see them in person?

While finding a dietitian near you is great, most Melbourne practitioners now offer both in-person and online appointments. This gives you the flexibility to find the absolute best expert for your needs, even if they're in Frankston and you're in Werribee.

How far in advance do I need to book a nutritionist in Melbourne?

It varies. Popular, highly-specialised Melbourne dietitians can be booked for weeks or months in advance. However, Bark is fast, and you can often find practitioners who have availability for new clients within the next week, or even last-minute appointments.

NOTE: I am currently *ONLY* conducting remote/online sessions using Zoom or Whereby. My price is only $140 per session. Please send me a message, or call me, or Whatsapp me on (0 4 1 1 3 1 2 7 8 0). If you message me on here, please leave your number in the body of the message because otherwise I cannot see your number. ONLINE SESSIONS ARE AS EFFECTIVE AS IN PERSON SESSIONS. If you message me on here, please leave your number in the body of the message because otherwise I cannot see your number. FAQ: Is your online Hypnotherapy session as effective as in person sessions? Answer: Yes! Because I use a method called REM (Rapid Eye movement) to bring someone into hypnosis. I use my voice and instructions to lead them in where I do not need to touch them. So whether you were in a person or on your phone or laptop, I would use exactly the same method (REM) to hypnotize you. Why is my business online? I am based in Cairns, QLD, Australia. However since the lockdown and the pandemic in 2020, I decided to move my business online with great results. All my reviews are from online clients. I also work outside of the 9-6 window to accommodate clients with full-time jobs. I also work weekends if need be. Let me introduce myself: I am JP, the founder. I am a Germanic New Medicine Clinician (Graduated from The GNM Institute), a Hypnotherapist, a Meditation Teacher/Facilitator, and a Whole Foods Plant Based (WFPB) Nutritionist. I hold a BSc in Forensics and Analytical Chemistry, a Masters Degree in Natural Medicine, and certified in Organic Plant-Based Nutrition Hippocrates Lifestyle Medicine, Germanic New Medicine Clinician Diploma, Hypnotherapy and Meditation Teaching. My approach is highly effective because it is truly holistic. The mind and the body is one unit, and I treat it as such. After the passing away of my mum, I developed a cascade of symptoms. Conventional approaches did not prove helpful which led me down an alternative path. I turned Germanic New Medicine (GNM), Hypnotherapy and Meditation to heal my physical symptoms completely and to improve my life entirely. It was extremely important to make the connection to my mum's passing as the root cause so I could heal the mind as well as the body. What is the Germanic New Medicine or the GNM? Germanic New Medicine was discoverred by late Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer. Dr. Hamer was diagnosed with testicular cancer after the death of his 17 year old son in 1979. As a medical doctor who had been healthy all of his life, Dr. Hamer suspected the traumatic loss of his son was the cause of his cancer. He began studying all of his cancer patients and recognised patterns among them. Every patient he interviewed had an unexpected, extremely emotionally distressful conflict, trauma or event that occurred prior to their diagnosis. And this is true for all dis-eases and psychological symptoms such as anxiety and depression. GNM is a new consciousness and paradigm in the field of Medicine. It involves using the knowledge of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature and disease in conjunction with a client’s life experiences. On the understanding that 'diseases' are meaningful adaptation triggered by an unanticipated, isolating and shocking event that catches the individual completely off guard, GNM assists in finding the emotional conflict or shock that occurred prior to the diagnosis or the symptoms. This is the first step to allowing the body to heal naturally. With the GNM, I have successfully worked with clients for: Hair loss (which is from a separation conflict), Migraine headaches (which is from frontal fear and feeling powerless), Intraductal BC (which is from a separation conflict perceived as torn from my B), tinnitus (which is from either a loud noise or a news or information heard perceived as "I cannot believe I hear this"), glandular BC (which a nest worry conflict or a rift in a relationship the person is trying to mend), bowel C (which something the individual couldn't accept or digest, usually around money, a job or inheritance), and all muscular skeletal pain (which are from self-devaluation depending on the different location, we break it down to the precise self-devaluation perceived as "I am unable to..."), constipation (which a conflict of lack or putting someone else's needs before yours), IBS (a conflict of lack), haemorrhoids (an identity conflict), and many many many more. Depending on your symptoms (especially physical ailments) I may suggest the GNM session as it is a very specific science which gives permanent results. I would often combine GNM with Hypnotherapy, and my clients experience extraordinary permanent/long lasting results. And usually within 2-3 sessions they are free from their symptoms. Hypnotherapy gave me the ability to access and explore my subconscious mind which makes up to 95% of our mind. This allowed me to uncover, release, reprogram and upgrade limiting beliefs and to find the root cause of any psychological, mental or physical challenges, pattern or behaviour providing complete freedom and healing. I have used Hypnotherapy with great success to help people quit smoking and vaping and to reduce their weight within a 2-3 sessions. Mindfulness meditation has helped me to create an oasis of quiet, stillness and reflection in the midst of daily demands, and also experience a heightened state of awareness where I become the witness of my life experiences (thoughts, emotions), and I observe them without judgments or resistance, without getting carried away by them. It's helped me become a more gentle and compassionate human being. With my 8 years experience of practice, I'd love to help you heal. I only charge $140 per session (for Hypnotherapy which goes for about 45 mins to 1 hour) and $150 per hour for the GNM as I don't want to cost my clients an arm and leg, as I know in most cases they have already spent a lot of money in the mainstream modalities....

A qualified nutritionist or dietitian doesn't just hand you a strict diet plan; they provide the education and personalised support you need to build sustainable habits without giving up everything you love.

1. Tell us what you need

From clinical advice for gut health and food intolerances to sports nutrition for peak performance or a weight management plan that fits your life, simply share your specific health goals. Let us know if you have specific dietary requirements, or if you prefer online consultations versus visiting a clinic.

2. Choose your professional

We’ll connect you with top-rated Melbourne nutritionists and dietitians. Compare their qualifications, read genuine reviews from other locals, and pick the perfect expert that suits your needs. Chat directly with professionals to ask about their philosophy and pricing, ensuring you find a partner that fits your budget and goals perfectly.

What services do Melbourne nutritionists offer?

Finding the right professional depends on your specific health goals. Experts can tailor their service, but packages generally fall into these categories:

1. General wellness & weight management

This is the all-rounder service, perfect for individuals wanting to improve their energy for their hectic Melbourne lifestyle, lose weight sustainably, or simply learn how to eat healthier. A great nutritionist helps you build lasting habits, not just follow a temporary diet.

A wellness package typically includes:

An initial comprehensive nutritional assessment (analysing your diet, lifestyle, and goals).
Personalised meal plans or structured eating guides.
Education on portion control, reading food labels, and mindful eating.
Goal setting and regular follow-up consultations to track progress and provide support.

2. Clinical nutrition (medical conditions)

This is a premium, specialised service for managing specific health conditions through diet. This is the domain of an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD), who is qualified to provide medical nutrition therapy.

This service is essential for:

Managing diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure.
Addressing digestive issues like IBS, coeliac disease, or IBD.
Managing food allergies, intolerances, and autoimmune conditions.
Providing nutritional support for conditions like PCOS or endometriosis.

3. Sports & performance nutrition

From weekend warriors running 'The Tan' to serious athletes, this service is for you. It's designed to optimise your diet for energy, performance, and recovery, whether you're training for the Melbourne Marathon or competitive sport.

A sports nutrition service focuses on:

Fueling strategies for training and competition.
Macronutrient timing for muscle gain or fat loss.
Recovery nutrition and hydration plans.
Guidance on sports supplements to enhance performance.

4. Specialised areas (e.g., fertility, paediatric)

This service caters to specific life stages or dietary choices. Professionals in these areas have additional training to support unique nutritional needs, such as fertility and pregnancy, infant and child nutrition (paediatrics), or transitioning to a healthy plant-based (vegan/vegetarian) diet.

With Anastasia, I have been able to change my lifestyle, lose weight, gain energy and improve my health. The approach Anastasia takes empowers me to make the choices that have allowed me to reach goals. I have tried many other ways including dietician’s but for me Anastasia is the first time I have seen success like this and I don’t feel like I am on a diet, I feel I have changed my lifestyle for the better and am enjoying life more. I highly recommend Anastasia.

Working with Anastasia has been truly rewarding. She has a style that takes my whole lifestyle into account including diet, weight loss and other goals that bring meaning to my life. Along the way I have bought a whole new wardrobe thanks to losing 10kgs and 10 cm around my waist. Her strengths based approach leaves me empowered and feeling like I can face the next challenge life throws at me. Lastly I am impressed with Anastasia's professionalism and value as she makes herself available between sessions for life coaching and nutrition advice. You won't regret working with Anastasia

Hiring a Melbourne nutritionist FAQs

Pricing is set by the individual practitioner. It can vary based on their qualifications (e.g., APD vs. nutritionist), their experience, their location in Melbourne (e.g., a Collins Street clinic vs. a suburban or online practice), and the service type. An initial consultation (e.g., 60-90 mins) will cost more than a standard follow-up (e.g., 30-45 mins). Many offer packages for multiple sessions at a reduced rate.
