We have clients who we “see” via Telehealth and phone appointments all over Australia!

Appointment Fees and Rebates

Our Fees

Fees vary by appointment length, service type and home visit location. Please call us on 1300 971 609 to discuss which service will best suit your needs.

Private Health Fund Rebates

Most private health funds provide rebates for allied health services including dietitians.

The rebate amount and claim limits will vary across the different health funds, so contact your fund to check your entitlements.

Medicare Rebates

Clients referred by their Doctor under an Enhanced Primary Care Plan (EPC) for a chronic illness can claim a Medicare rebate for up to 5 allied health consultations per year.

The current Medicare rebate per appointment is $53.80. You must obtain the EPC referral that includes Dietitian appointments with Kids Dig Food from your General Practitioner PRIOR to your appointment with us in order to claim a rebate.

PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT BULK BILL. The length and complexity of our appointments unfortunately means we are unable to provide bulk billing for our appointments.

At our Taringa and North Lakes clinics, payment is required in full and you will be provided with an invoice and receipt to claim your rebate direct from Medicare.

At our Clayfield clinic, Medicare rebates can be processed on-the-spot if you bring along your Medicare card and your EPC/CDMP referral. You will be required to cover the remainder of our full fee after your Medicare rebate.
