FOR GPs AND HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
Shorter waits, wherever your patients are
I’m an Accredited Practising Dietitian working by telehealth Australia-wide. Your patients are seen sooner, without travelling, and you get a clear written report back. I see clients through Medicare, DVA, NDIS and private health, and I’m happy to work alongside you and the rest of the care team.
Patients can also book in with me directly. This page is for health professionals who’d like to refer.
