Our Dietitian

Jessica Zorba

Practising Dietitian

BNutDiet(Hons) 

 

Jessica has a keen interest in helping people achieve healthy behaviors and develop positive relationships with food. Since graduating as a Dietitian in 2022, Jessica has been dedicated to promoting better health through nutrition. Her work in public health has allowed her to focus particularly on the nutritional needs of primary school-aged children. Jessica's approach is centered on creating supportive environments where children can learn and adopt healthy eating habits that will benefit them throughout their lives.


Jessica's interests include: child and adolescent nutrition (fussy eating, growth issues, disordered eating etc), supporting families to create healthy eating habits and general healthy eating. Her work is characterized by a compassionate and holistic approach, aiming not just to address immediate nutritional concerns, but also to instill lasting positive behaviors and attitudes towards food.


Jessica works once a month, on a Wednesday, at New Ability Health. To book an appointment call 02 4926 9813 or email reception@newabilityhealth.com.au

Fees and Rebates - Dietetics

Fees

Initial consultation: $120

Routine appointment: $90 per 1/2 hour duration. 

For your convenience we can accept cash, credit card or debit card payments.


Medicare Rebates 

If you have a chronic medical condition that has been (or is likely to be) present for six months or longer (Eg, cardiovascular disease, diabetes) you may be entitled to receive a medicare rebate for a maximum of five sessions per calendar year under a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan.


As of July 2022, clients with a CDM plan may be eligible to claim a Medicare rebate of $56.00 after their dietetics appointment. 

  

If you have a GP referral and a team care arrangement you will be entitled to a medicare rebate which covers a portion of the appointment fee, although you will still be required to pay a ‘gap’ fee. Your rebate can be deposited directly back into your bank account immediately following payment of your appointment fee.


Please contact your GP to discuss eligibility and to arrange a CDM plan.
