Joining you on the journey to a healthier you

Obesity is a serious, chronic, relapsing disease

  • Caused by genetic, environmental, physiological and behavioural factors that require long-term care.

  • Related complications have a substantial health burden.

  • A common theme is the ongoing weight loss and rebound weight gain over the years.

  • Your body will fight against losing weight, despite a healthier diet and exercise regime. This is the nature of the condition.


    We are here to help.

    We will join you on the journey to a healthier you, through a holistic approach to a complex disease.

What does the journey involve?

We will start with a holistic assessment of your metabolic and weight concerns, your health status and personal goals. This will be followed by a medical examination and we may arrange for investigations such as blood tests, health questionnaires, and body measurements. This may take 1-2 appointments.

We will work together to create a personalised plan to reach mutually structured realistic goals. This may involve further education sessions, working with our experienced affiliated dietitians, psychologists and exercise physiologists.

We will discuss and utilise possible options of evidence-based Medications.

While we will focus on weight management and metabolic conditions, we will communicate and work closely with your general practitioner and other doctor(s) to ensure a holistic approach to your health needs.

We understand that the journey will require different speeds at different stages and that regular reviews and ongoing checks are key to achieving long term health goals.

Fee structure:

This highly specialised service is provided by a vastly experienced medical professional who is a keynote educator at weight management conferences nationally, and has years of additional training and extra qualifications specific to weight management and its associated metabolic and mental health conditions.

To provide such a high quality service, private billing is required with an out of pocket gap fee applicable. Patients can claim a Medicare rebate for a portion of the appointment fee.


The initial consultation usually lasts 45 - 60 minutes with a total fee of $300.

(with a Medicare rebate between $82.90 and $122.15)


Review appointments last 30 - 45 minutes with a total fee of $200.

(with a Medicare rebate between $82.90 and $105.15)


The initial consultation will require a $100 upfront payment to confirm the appointment and will serve as a non-refundable Non Attendance Fee.


No referral is required and new patients aged 12 or older, are welcome.

If you do not have a regular general practitioner, we will be able to arrange a Chronic Disease Management plan and/or a Mental Health Care plan to support you to access allied health services with a Medicare rebate (such as dietitians or psychologists or exercise physiologists).

However, our preference is for your regular general practitioner / specialist to be involved in your journey to a healthier you, so your regular general practitioner will also be able to arrange these care plans and other services for you.

For Health Care Professionals / General Practitioners:

Should you refer your regular patient to our services, we will correspond back to ask YOU to arrange a Chronic Disease Management plan and/or a Mental Health Care plan for your patient, if eligible, with our services as a participating provider of their multidisciplinary Team Care Arrangement (TCA).

We are happy to receive your calls or emails, should you require any further information.
