Fees
At Wellness with Diabetes, appointments are designed to provide clear, practical and supportive diabetes education in a way that feels personalised, unhurried and easy to understand.
Fees are based on appointment length, allowing time to discuss your current health needs, answer questions, review diabetes management strategies, and create a plan that feels realistic for everyday life.
Consultation Fees
Medicare Rebates
Clients with a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, often referred to as a GPCCMP, may be eligible for a Medicare rebate of $61.80 for diabetes education appointments.
Eligible clients can access up to 5 Medicare-subsidised allied health services per calendar year under a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan. These services may be used for one type of allied health service, such as diabetes education, or shared across different allied health providers, depending on the referral from the GP. Diabetes Educators are listed by Services Australia as eligible allied health professionals under GPCCMP referrals.
To access the rebate, a referral from your GP is required before your appointment. Medicare states that eligible services must be part of the patient’s plan, at least 20 minutes in duration, and are capped at 5 services per calendar year. The current MBS benefit is listed as 85% = $61.80.
Insulin Pump Starts
Ready to transition to an insulin pump? I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Starting insulin pump therapy is a significant milestone, and having the right education and support can make all the difference. To help make the transition as smooth as possible, I offer two complimentary appointments for people commencing insulin pump therapy:
-
Your Insulin Pump Start Appointment
-
One Follow-Up Review Appointment
Whether you're still deciding which pump is the best fit for your lifestyle or you're ready to begin, I can guide you through the process.
This service includes:
-
Guidance on choosing the insulin pump that best suits your individual needs and lifestyle.
-
Assistance with the paperwork and ordering process required to access your pump.
-
Comprehensive education to safely transition from multiple daily injections (MDI) to insulin pump therapy, in collaboration with your treating doctor.
-
Support with setting up your pump and understanding how it works.
-
Review of your pump settings, glucose levels and insulin therapy during your follow-up appointment to help optimise your diabetes management.
If you're considering insulin pump therapy or would simply like to discuss your options, I'd love to help. Please get in touch to arrange a conversation.
Private Appointments
You do not need a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan to book an appointment. Private appointments are available for clients who would like diabetes education, lifestyle guidance, or additional support outside of a Medicare referral.
Private appointments are paid in full at the time of consultation.
What Your Appointment May Include
Depending on your needs, appointments may include support with understanding your diabetes diagnosis, blood glucose monitoring, medication or insulin routines, lifestyle and food choices, diabetes technology, gestational diabetes, Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, or creating realistic strategies for daily management.
The aim is to help diabetes care feel clearer, more manageable, and more connected to your overall wellbeing.
Questions About Fees or Rebates?
If you are unsure whether you are eligible for a Medicare rebate, please speak with your GP before booking. Your GP can confirm whether a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan is appropriate for your health needs and provide the correct referral.
For any questions about appointment fees or what to expect, please get in touch.
