What it is
Weight management consultations with an endorsed nurse practitioner from Nurse Practitioner Clinics Australia (NPCA), online from anywhere in Australia, or in person by appointment. The consultation starts with a health assessment: your medical history, the medicines you take, lifestyle factors and any relevant pathology results. From there you build a plan together.
Your nurse practitioner reviews your health and your history, discusses what is and is not suitable for you, and explains what a nurse practitioner can and cannot do. If something needs a GP or a specialist, they will refer you. Follow-up appointments review how you are going and keep an eye on your general health. It is a private conversation, from home if you prefer.
Who it's for
A weight management consultation may suit you if you are:
- Seeking professional guidance on managing your weight
- Wanting to understand what a nurse practitioner can and cannot help with
- Looking for ongoing review and monitoring from a qualified health professional
- Wanting a private consultation from home if you prefer
- Managing other health conditions alongside your weight
How to book
Book a weight management consultation through HotDoc. Initial appointments are longer to allow a thorough assessment, typically 20 to 30 minutes, with follow-ups of 15 to 20 minutes.
Have your Medicare card, your current medicine list and any recent blood test results with you. All consultations are private and confidential.
Or call our team on 1800 418 429.
Where
Online by secure video or phone, Australia-wide, or in person by appointment.
If your nurse practitioner requests pathology, collection is available at any pathology collection centre in Australia.
Cost & Medicare
Consultation fees are confirmed when you book, before your appointment goes ahead. Nurse practitioner consultations may attract a Medicare (MBS) rebate; your nurse practitioner will confirm whether one applies to yours. Medicines they prescribe may be subsidised under the PBS, and pathology costs depend on the tests requested.
Frequently asked questions
What does a weight management consultation involve?
A thorough health assessment covering your medical history, current medicines and any relevant pathology results, then a conversation about your goals and a plan you agree together. That may include lifestyle and nutritional guidance. Your nurse practitioner discusses what is and is not suitable for you, explains what a nurse practitioner can and cannot do, and refers you to a GP or specialist if that is what your situation needs.
Will I need blood tests?
Your nurse practitioner may request pathology to understand your overall health before recommending a plan. Pathology can be collected at any collection centre in Australia.
How often will I need follow-up appointments?
That depends on your plan. Your nurse practitioner will usually suggest regular check-ins to review how things are going, adjust the plan and keep an eye on your general health.
Is the consultation private?
Yes. Consultations are one to one, online by secure video or phone or in person by appointment, and are treated with the same confidentiality either way.
Do I need to travel to Perth?
No. Weight management consultations are available online from anywhere in Australia, or in person by appointment.
