Accessing healthcare can look very different depending on where you live. Telehealth provides a practical way to meet with a dietitian without adding another trip to your week.
During your consultation, we take time to understand the whole picture. This may include your health conditions, symptoms, medications, appetite, usual food intake, food access, routine and the things you are finding most difficult.
Recommendations are then developed around what is realistic for you. We aim to identify useful priorities without expecting you to completely change the way you eat overnight.
Simply Nutrition provides telehealth dietitian appointments throughout Australia. If you are outside the Northern Territory, learn more about our Australia-wide online dietitian consultations .
Why telehealth?
Making Nutrition Support More Accessible
Telehealth cannot remove every challenge associated with distance, but it can make regular dietitian care easier to access for many people.
Online care can provide more choice when the nutrition support you are looking for is not easily available nearby.
Continue with the same dietitian without needing to arrange repeated travel for review appointments.
Your plan can be reviewed when your health, appetite, symptoms, food access or circumstances change.

Location Should Not Be the Only Factor in Choosing Your Dietitian
People outside Darwin may have fewer dietitian services available locally or may need to travel considerable distances for some appointments.
Telehealth provides another option for people in places such as Palmerston, Katherine, Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and other parts of the Northern Territory.
Appointments can include discussion of your usual foods, health information, symptoms, nutrition goals and any practical barriers affecting your eating.
A suitable internet or phone connection and an appropriate private space are important for telehealth. If you are unsure whether online care will work for your circumstances, contact our team before booking.
Preparing for telehealth
You Do Not Need to Have Everything Organised Before You Start
You do not need a perfect food diary or a long list of questions before seeing a dietitian. We can begin with the information you already have.
For some appointments, recent blood results, medical letters, medication information or relevant reports may be useful. If something specific is needed before your consultation, our team can let you know.
For children, NDIS participants or people receiving support from others, it can also be helpful to have the person who knows the day-to-day food routine involved in the appointment.
Our approach
Practical Nutrition Care Built Around the Person
Your postcode may influence what food and services are available to you. Your nutrition care should take those practical realities into account.
Recommendations should work with your circumstances, food availability, routine and health needs rather than assuming everyone has the same options.
We listen carefully and work collaboratively so you feel involved in decisions about your nutrition care.
Our advice is evidence-based, realistic and explained clearly so you understand why a particular approach is being recommended.

Common questions
Online Dietitian Darwin & NT FAQs
Helpful information about accessing Simply Nutrition Dietitians online from the Northern Territory.
Do you have a physical dietitian clinic in Darwin?
Our Darwin and Northern Territory services are provided through telehealth rather than a physical Darwin clinic. You can meet with your dietitian online from a suitable location in the NT.
Can I see your dietitians if I live outside Darwin?
Yes. Telehealth appointments can be accessed from other parts of the Northern Territory where a suitable phone or internet connection is available. This may include Palmerston, Alice Springs, Katherine, Tennant Creek and other regional or remote areas.
What can an online dietitian help with?
Our team supports a broad range of nutrition needs including digestive health, paediatric nutrition, NDIS nutrition, diabetes, kidney disease, weight concerns, malnutrition, enteral nutrition and other individual health concerns.
What do I need for a telehealth appointment?
You will need access to a suitable phone, tablet or computer and a private place for your consultation. A reliable connection is important. Relevant medical information, reports or blood results may also be useful depending on the reason for your appointment.
Do I need a GP referral?
A GP referral is generally not required for a private dietitian appointment. Referral documentation may be required if you are accessing an eligible Medicare, NDIS or other funded service.
Can Medicare or private health rebates apply?
Medicare rebates may be available when you have an eligible referral and meet the relevant requirements. Some private health policies may also provide benefits for dietitian telehealth appointments. Check your individual eligibility with your GP or health fund.
