How it works
Tell Kat your concern
When you book, briefly describe the concern and where you are up to. Kat reviews it within 1 business day to check it suits a focused consult.
30 minutes with Kat by telehealth
Kat asks the background questions she needs, clarifies what matters, and gives practical advice within the agreed scope.
Your brief written summary
Within 2 business days you receive a short written record of the advice discussed and the next steps you agreed.
Is a focused consult right for you?
It includes
- One agreed, focused nutrition concern, subject to suitability
- Relevant background questions and clarification during the appointment
- Advice appropriate to that concern and the assessment undertaken
- A brief written summary of the advice discussed and agreed next steps
An initial consultation is usually more appropriate when
- Several concerns need to be understood together
- A comprehensive dietary and health history assessment is needed
- Detailed pathology interpretation is required
- You need comprehensive meal or supplement planning
- You need ongoing condition management or coordinated reviews
A single question can still need a full assessment. For example, "What should I eat during IVF?" usually depends on your history, results and treatment plan. Choose an initial consultation when you want to look at the whole picture, connect several concerns and build a coordinated nutrition plan. Not sure which suits you? Book a free call and Kat will help you choose.
About the written summary
It records the advice and next steps discussed. It is not a comprehensive assessment, a full meal plan or an ongoing support package. It is sent by email within 2 business days of your appointment.

Questions
What does the $129 cover?
30 minutes with Kat by telehealth for one agreed concern, including the background questions she needs, practical advice within that scope, and a brief written summary within 2 business days. It is the total fee; dietetic services are GST-free.
Is it limited to one question?
No. It is limited to one focused concern, not one sentence. Kat will ask follow-up questions and you can ask for clarification during the appointment. If several concerns need looking at together, an initial consultation is usually the better fit.
What if my concern needs a broader assessment?
Kat reviews your concern within 1 business day of booking. If it needs more than a focused 30 minutes, she will move you to an initial consultation instead and credit your $129 towards it, so you only pay the difference. If you would rather not go ahead with an initial consultation, you get a full refund. If something more complex comes up during the appointment, Kat will decide how to proceed safely and explain your options.
Can I claim this on Medicare or private health?
It is private-pay only, so no GP referral is needed and it does not use one of your GP Chronic Condition Management Plan visits. Medicare rebates apply to standard consultations.
If I book more care later, is the fee credited?
If you book an initial consultation or The Program within 30 days of your One-Question Consult, its fee is credited towards that booking. One credit per client, not transferable, not combined with a Medicare rebate.
What if I need to cancel?
Reschedule or cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before your appointment for a full refund. Inside 24 hours the fee is retained.
How is it different from the free 15-minute call?
On the free call Kat listens to what is going on, explains how she can help and suggests the best next step. The One-Question Consult is a paid appointment where she gives you advice on your agreed concern, with a written summary.
