When your GP is creating your Chronic Disease Management Plan/Enhanced Care Plan or Eating Disorder Treatment Plan, they will ask you for my clinic details. This allows me to be placed as your designated dietitian on your plan, and for you to get rebated dietitian consultations with me.
Here is all the information your GP will need:
Practice Name: Victoria Lekkas - Dietitian
Location: Reservoir, VIC, 3073 (Telehealth)
Email: dietitianvictoria@outlook.com
Clinician: Victoria Lekkas (6324851L)
Medicare plans can be emailed to me at dietitianvictoria@outlook.com by either your GP clinic or by you directly.

My consulting days are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday across the afternoon and evening, and every second Saturday.
If these times don’t suit you, simply reach out.
-
No. You can book with me directly, with or without a GP referral.
You only need one if you want to claim a Medicare rebate. In that case your GP needs to have put a plan in place, either a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan or an Eating Disorder Treatment and Management Plan, and given you a written referral to see a dietitian.

Many private health insurance policies with extras cover offer rebates for appointments with an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD). However, the level of cover and annual limits vary depending on your individual policy. We recommend checking with your insurer prior to your consultation.
Following your appointment, you’ll be provided with a receipt containing all the information needed to make a claim.
Frequently Asked Questions

Accredited Practising Dietitians have completed university-level training in nutrition and dietetics, meet ongoing professional standards, and are regulated through Dietitians Australia. “Nutritionist” isn’t a regulated title, so anyone can use it. As an APD, I can give you evidence-based advice for your health needs.

It depends on your goals. Many people start with an initial consult and a few follow-ups, but we’ll work out a pace that suits you.
Check the 45 to 60 minute length and the follow-up wording. I also left out eating disorder support, because that wording should come from her.
