Payment Methods

Appointments require payment on the day of service. Cash and card payments are accepted. Telehealth or phone consults require payment over the phone via credit card. 

Private Health Insurance Fund

Thrive Dietetics is registered with all private health funds, so individuals with private health insurance (extras) may be entitled to rebates for Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) services. Please check eligibility with your fund. Consultation item codes are 500 (initial), 600 (review), 700 (group) and 800 (out of rooms).

Medicare

Medicare provides rebates for dietitian appointments. To be eligible for this rebate you must have a Chronic Disease Management plan (AKA Enhanced Primary Care plan) or a Team Care Arrangement plan from your GP. A copy of this plan and a GP referral letter is required at the time of consultation. 

NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme)

We offer assistance to plan and self-managed participants, as part of therapeutic supports under the capacity building and core support budgets.

DVA (Department of Veterans Affairs) 

Thrive Dietetics is a provider for the Department of Veterans Affairs. If you have a Gold card or relevant conditions under other card types, you will not have to pay for your visit. Home visits can also be arranged if necessary.

Cancellations

As you would appreciate, time is very valuable. We only have a certain number of hours to delegate to client consultations. To ensure that people do not miss out on appointment times we have a strict 24-hour cancellation policy.

Please respect that all cancellations and rescheduled appointments must be made with at least 24 hours notice via a phone call. Unfortunately, we cannot accept text or email message cancellations. 

If an appointment is cancelled or changed within 24 hours of the original appointment, 30% of the consult fee will be charged. We aim to provide all our clients with a highly specialised service so please respect our time and efforts, and speak to us if you require any appointments to be changed.
