A referral is not required. However, you will notice when you complete the registration form that we ask for details of any doctors and/or specialists involved in your care; this is because, at High Country Nutrition and Dietetics, we have a strong multidisciplinary focus and like to update the team of your plan and progress (with your permission, of course).

Yes! We are able to see NDIS participants who have self-managed or plan-managed funds. We are not currently able to provide an NDIS-funded service to agency-managed participants. Book online at the button below.

What to expect in your first session:
- Analysis of your current and past medical history, including blood test results and medications. Please bring along any relevant information to your consultation, or provide it to us via email prior.
- Lifestyle and symptom assessment (your day-to-day routines and symptoms).
- Dietary assessment (analysis of your dietary choices and meal patterns, relationship with food, likes/dislikes).
- Your individual goals, to create a specific plan for you.

In some instances, it may be helpful if you kept a food diary for 2-3 days prior to your consultation. However, if this is at all triggering for you, do not keep one.

Payment is due on the day of your consultation. If you would like to pay by credit card on the day, you can. If not, after your consultation, we will send you an invoice via email with details to make payment. After payment is received we will email you a receipt.

If you are unable to make your scheduled consultation, please notify us as soon as able. If you need to cancel or change your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. Appointments cancelled or changed within 24 hours will incur a cancellation fee valued at the rate of the original consultation.

Please be aware that our consults are scheduled to allow sufficient time for each client. If you are running late, your consult will still conclude at the scheduled time. This is to avoid the client booked after you being disadvantaged.
