Book your consultation via telehealth.
Whether you are trying to manage a health condition, reach health goals or keep your immune system strong, good nutrition is vital. Although we always love seeing you in person, sometimes this is not possible. In those times, Tree of Life Nutrition has great processes to be able to offer a comprehensive online dietitian consultation or other remote consult.
Any time you can’t see us in person, you may book in your consultation through phone or video call. Perhaps you are:
- isolated or in a remote location
- looking to minimise travel or face-to-face appointments or
- feeling unwell
Telehealth allows you to keep your existing appointment or book in a new appointment with our experienced dietitians and allied health staff any time. That way, you don’t miss out on important dietary advice when you need it most.

How do online consults work?
Online dietitian consultations are much like regular one-on-one consults in many ways. Our standard consultation times and fees apply. Private health fund rebates also apply to online consults. Telehealth appointments for those with a Medicare Care plan are also bulk-billed.
Via telehealth, we can still see you (if we’re using video), ask questions, and can discuss your general health and progress, including any tests we may have ordered. We may assess your food diary; perform computer analysis and of course, provide our advice. We can also email you the necessary literature to support your needs or condition.
Booking is easy. You can call us on 07 3891 6199; or email us on [email protected]
Limitations
The logistics of working with you online may look a little different. We may sometimes need to rely on you to provide measurements, weight and height if required. We teach you how to take these measurements. Anthropomorphic assessments can’t be done over video consult, and this is one limitation to working online. However, if we have seen you before, we can use other ways of assessing progress to be able to ascertain the trajectory of your health goals.
Benefits
In times of distance or sickness, you can still get the important dietary advice you need. You don’t need to leave your house. We can also record the consult, which can come in handy when you need to remember important information later. Keeping these important appointments allows you to maintain a sense of normality. In addition, ensuring good nutrition is a vital way we can support your immune system to function as best it can. We can progress you through the next stages of your dietary intervention.
