Dietetics in Crookwell.
We treat Crookwell residents from our Goulburn clinic — about 40 minutes and 46 km away.
Local care
Dietetics for Crookwell residents.
The drive in from Crookwell is 40 minutes down Crookwell Road, about 46 kilometres, so most people plan a whole morning around one appointment rather than popping in twice a week. We build our dietetics care around that: longer initial sessions, clear written plans, and follow-up spacing that respects the trip rather than ignoring it.
Farming and grazing work over decades takes a toll — joints that ache in the cold, blood pressure that's crept up, cholesterol that needs watching after a lifetime of physical work and irregular meal breaks. Crookwell's older population brings us a steady stream of heart-health and diabetes referrals, often managing more than one condition alongside a GP.
Where the distance makes fortnightly visits impractical, we set a review plan by phone or video between the in-person appointments that matter — assessment, blood-result checks, and any change in medication — so care keeps up even when the drive from Kingsdale, Taralga or Mummel doesn't happen every month.

Common questions
Questions we get asked a lot.
Is the trip from Crookwell worth it for dietetics?
It's 40 minutes via Crookwell Road, about 46 kilometres, so we run longer initial appointments and space follow-ups further apart than we would for someone closer, to make each visit count.
Can I keep up a dietetics program if I can't drive in often?
Yes. After the first in-person assessment, we can schedule some follow-ups by phone or video and reserve in-person visits for check points that need a physical review, blood-result discussion, or plan change.
How is a dietitian different from a nutritionist?
An Accredited Practising Dietitian holds a university degree, is governed by Dietitians Australia, and completes audited ongoing professional development. "Nutritionist" is an unregulated title and a different role. For Medicare-, NDIS-, or DVA-funded nutrition care, an APD is the recognised provider.
Can I get a Medicare rebate for seeing a dietitian?
Yes, with a GP Chronic Disease Management plan, which covers up to five rebated allied-health visits a year across all disciplines. Dietetics is also funded through NDIS and DVA, or you can book privately without a referral. Bring your plan and any recent blood work to the first appointment.
