REFERRAL INFORMATION
Do I Need a GP Referral?
A GP referral is required to access Medicare bulk billing for dietetic services. Your GP will need to provide an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan or a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, which allows you to access up to 5 allied health visits per calendar year at no cost.
If you do not have a GP referral, you can still access services through private billing. Simply contact us directly to book an appointment — no referral is needed for private consultations.
NDIS participants and DVA clients should contact us to discuss their specific funding arrangements and documentation requirements.
