Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral to see a dietitian at Reliance Care and Support?

Can I claim Medicare for dietitian appointments?

What should I expect during my first dietitian appointment?
Your first session is a relaxed conversation about your usual eating habits, health goals, cultural foods, and any barriers you face. You and the dietitian will then outline a practical plan that fits your routine and preferences.
How much does it cost to see a dietitian in Truganina?
Fees vary depending on whether you are using NDIS funding or attending as a private client. Our team can explain pricing and available funding options when you get in touch to book.
Does the clinic offer feeding therapy for children?
Yes, our dietitian has special interest in paediatric feeding and SOS feeding approaches for children who experience mealtime worry or limited food intake. We work gently with your child and family to build confidence with food over time.
