Dietitians at Brisbane Nutrition Services provide quality dietetic services for your organisation and individual consultations. You don't need a referral to see the dietitian and claim a refund from your Health Fund. However, a referral from your Dr can provide valuable and relevant information for the dietitian.
Fees are payable at the time of consultation and cash, EFTPOS, Visa and Mastercard are accepted. If you would like to make an appointment for an individual consultation with the dietitian, call the nearest clinic and they will organize an appointment time for you.
