WHAT IS DIETETICS

Dietetics is a science that delves into the complex relationship between food, nutrition, and health.

At Self Reflections, our dietetics service is more than just meal planning or weight management; it's a holistic approach to understanding how the foods you eat impact your physical and mental well-being. 

Our Accredited Practising Dietitians work with you to create personalised nutrition strategies that cater to your unique needs, preferences, and lifestyle, ensuring a balanced and sustainable approach to eating and health.

WHO IS IT FOR

Our focus is to empower you with knowledge and practical skills to make informed food choices. We understand that each individual's relationship with food is unique, and our dietitians are skilled in addressing a wide range of nutritional needs. Whether it's managing medical conditions through intake, improving overall health and well-being, or navigating the complexities of eating disorders, our goal is to support you in achieving a healthier, more balanced life.

Four women of all body shapes

Our dietetics service is for anyone seeking to improve their health through nutrition. This includes individuals struggling with eating disorders, those with specific dietary needs due to medical conditions, and anyone looking to enhance their overall well-being through better eating habits. Our dietitians are here to guide you, whether you're dealing with weight concerns, digestive issues, or just want to feel more energetic and healthy.

 

While our dietetics services are comprehensive, they may not be suitable for individuals looking for quick-fix diets or those not ready to embrace a holistic approach to nutrition. Our services are not a one-size-fits-all solution; they require a commitment to understanding and applying the principles of mindful eating in everyday life. If you're not prepared to actively participate in your nutritional journey, our dietetics service might not align with your current needs.

POLICIES 

PAYMENT POLICY

Payment for sessions is required to be made at the time of your appointment. This is a standard practice that reflects the value of the services provided and supports the smooth operation of our clinic. 

If payment is not received for any reason, all future appointments are placed on hold until the outstanding payment is settled. 

We do not offer payment plans for attended sessions. If you are unable to afford an appointment, we kindly ask that you make the decision well in advance to cancel the session, allowing another client the opportunity to book. 

​

CANCELLATION POLICY 

Due to the high demand of services, 24 hour’s notice is required if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Please note, the notice period excludes Sundays, public holidays and clinic closure days/periods. Less than 24 hours notice limits our ability to provide services to others in need and will incur a charge of 50% of the appointment fee.

If more than two cancellations occur with less than 24 hours notice, then future cancellations within the notice period will incur a charge of 100% of the appointment fee. If three consecutive cancellations have been made, your Clinician reserves the right to cancel future appointments and refuse further services.If a third party is paying for your consultations, then the cancellation fee will be payable by yourself personally unless otherwise stated on your Service Agreement.

​

NON ATTENDANCE POLICY

If you do not show up for your scheduled appointment, do not call us to cancel / reschedule outside the cancellation notice period above, or you contact us to cancel your appointment once your session has commenced, 100% of the appointment fee is charged.

If you do not attend two consecutive appointments, your Clinician reserves the right to cancel future appointments and refuse further services. If a third party is paying for your consultations, then the non attendance fee will be payable by yourself personally unless otherwise stated on your Service Agreement.

​

MEDICARE REBATES

Medicare rebates are available for dietetic services of chronic health conditions. 

You will be able to claim a portion of your fees from Medicare if your doctor assesses you to be eligible for dietetic services under Medicare, and if you have a referral and a care plan from your doctor. The number of rebates available to you depends on the plan your GP has deemed most appropriate to your condition. This will be explained to you by your GP as well as on your first appointment.
