Local care
Dietetics for Tallong residents.
Retirees on rural blocks make up a good share of Tallong, many of them managing cholesterol, blood pressure or type 2 diabetes on their own for years before anyone puts a number on it. Coming in — 32 minutes up the Hume Motorway, about 40 kilometres — is worth planning around when the appointment actually changes what happens day to day.
We work from your last blood results and your actual routine, not a printed diet sheet, and set a plan with a target we can check next time: a cholesterol number, a fasting glucose reading, a blood-pressure trend. Bushland-property owners managing their own vegetable patches and commuters who eat on the run both get the same starting point — what you're eating now, and the smallest change that moves the number.
Tallong sits near Marulan and Bungonia, and we see a similar mix from all three: people who'd rather make one trip count than come in every fortnight, so we space follow-ups to match.
Getting here

What we treat
What Tallong patients see us for.
A dietitian is who you see for the food side of medicine. Ours are Accredited Practising Dietitians — the national standard for medical nutrition care — and they work from your actual blood results and day-to-day life to a written plan tied to a number that matters, then follow it up.

Common questions
Questions we get asked a lot.
What funding is available for dietetics if I'm a DVA card holder in Tallong?
DVA White Card and Gold Card holders are accepted with a current referral, alongside Medicare with a GP Chronic Disease Management plan, NDIS plan-managed and self-managed funding, and private appointments for anyone not eligible for those.
Is telehealth an option given the drive from Tallong?
The first appointment is best done in person, about 32 minutes via the Hume Motorway, but we can use telehealth for some follow-ups once your plan and blood-result targets are set.
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.
