What a consultation actually costs
Three ways to be seen — Medicare, DVA, or privately — with the real out-of-pocket cost explained, not just a price on a page.
Medicare GPCCMP
With a GP referral
Eligible patients with a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan can access up to five MBS-supported individual allied health services per calendar year, shared across the allied health providers involved in the plan. A gap fee applies — ask at booking for the current amount.
DVA Gold Card
Bulk-billed
DVA Gold Card holders are bulk-billed with a doctor's referral — no out-of-pocket cost, through Karma Nutrition's DVA provider status.
Private
No referral needed
Private consultations start from $169. No GP referral required — check with your private health fund for any extras rebate on dietetics.
Additional services
| Body composition analysis | $50.00 |
| Weekly menu plan | On request |
Weekly menu plans are prepared on request for an additional fee on top of your consultation.
Private health insurance
Most funds offer some extras rebate for dietetics, but the amount varies by fund and policy level — it's worth checking your specific rebate under "dietetics" before your appointment.
