You do not require a GP referral to make an appointment, however if you are accessing Medicare, Department of Veterans Affairs or other funding sources a referral may be required. In complex health conditions it may be useful for you to bring a referral to simplify history taking at your first appointment (to get the most out of your visit). Self referred clients are encouraged to fill out the Pre-Appointment Form and email back or bring on the day of the appointment.

What to expect at your first visit
Your first visit may take up to one hour depending on the complexity of your presenting concerns. Subsequent visits take between 20 to 30 minutes. Much of your first visit is spent exploring your history, current food intake, likes and dislikes, lifestyle and activity levels. Working together, areas are identified that can be gradually adjusted to achieve health goals.
Reviews, when required, are spaced at appropriate intervals for each client to implement strategies, adjust and revisit existing targets.
