What a dietitian does

Accredited practising dietitians translate nutrition evidence into what to actually eat. In this stage of life that covers fertility, nausea, iron and other deficiencies, gestational diabetes, feeding yourself while feeding a baby, and eating disorders.

Commonly after a gestational diabetes diagnosis, when iron or B12 is low, when nausea is making eating hard, or when planning a pregnancy on a restricted diet.

Referrals, fees and Medicare

You can book directly, though a GP care plan is needed for any Medicare rebate.

Usually paid privately or through extras cover. Medicare may cover part of a small number of visits a year with a GP chronic disease management plan, and gestational diabetes care is often provided free through a hospital clinic.
