Bariatric Surgery Nutrition

Bariatric surgery is a powerful tool, but long-term success relies on ongoing nutrition support. Our Accredited Practising Dietitians provide evidence-based guidance before and after surgery to help you achieve safe, sustainable and long-lasting results.

Regular reviews with your dietitian help you:

  • Meet protein and nutrient needs
  • Prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies
  • Reduce risk of complications
  • Improve energy, gut function and overall wellbeing
  • Build habits for long-term weight stability
  • Stay accountable and supported

Standard Consultation Fee (60 minutes)

How your consultation is funded will depend on how your NDIS plan is managed (for example, self-managed, plan-managed or NDIA-managed) and your individual funding arrangements.

To support accessible nutrition care, appointments with our Associate Dietitian will continue to be fully covered under the current NDIS price limit for eligible participants. Although the Associate Dietitian consultation fee is $180.00, Happier, Healthier will continue to absorb the small difference, meaning there will be no out-of-pocket contribution for eligible participants seeing our Associate Dietitian.

 

Some participants, however, have more complex nutrition needs that require the additional experience and expertise of a Dietitian or Senior Dietitian. Where this is clinically appropriate, our team may recommend a more experienced clinician to ensure you receive the most appropriate care for your individual needs.

 

In these circumstances, your NDIS funding will continue to contribute towards the cost of your consultation, with any remaining fee discussed with you before your appointment.

 

Our recommendations will always be based on clinical need and our commitment to providing the right care, with the right clinician, at the right time.
