Medicare Dietitian Appointments
Bulk billed online dietitian appointments for eligible GP referrals
If your GP has referred you to a dietitian under a Medicare care plan, you may be able to book a bulk billed Medicare Dietitian Appointment with Bloom by Bella.

Who This Appointment Is For
This appointment is for people who have been referred by their GP for dietitian support under an eligible Medicare care plan.
Your GP decides whether you’re eligible for a Medicare referral and how dietitian support fits into your care plan.
This appointment is an ideal option if you already have your referral and want focused, practical nutrition support.

The goal is for you to leave with practical advice that makes sense for your health, your routine and your capacity.

If You Don't Have a Medicare Referral
You don’t need a referral to see a dietitian privately.
If you don’t have an eligible Medicare referral, you can book a standard Dietitian Appointment instead.
A private Dietitian Appointment may be a better fit if you want more time, don’t have a GP care plan, or want nutrition advice that isn’t being billed through Medicare.
Medicare Appointment or Private Dietitian Appointment?
Choose Medicare
Choose a Medicare Dietitian Appointment if you have an eligible GP referral and want to use Medicare-supported dietitian care.
Choose Private
Choose a private Dietitian Appointment if you don’t have a Medicare referral, want a longer appointment, or want to book dietitian support outside of a GP care plan.
Both options can include personalised nutrition advice. The difference is how the appointment is booked, billed and structured.
