Why Seaford Residents Choose Saltfleet Clinic
Seaford is home to plenty of fast food, and generic meal plans and online nutritional advice can feel overwhelming. Therefore our clinic focuses on practical, medically grounded nutrition that doesn't feel restrictive.

When accessing dietetic care with us from Seaford, you benefit from key clinical advantages:

Our dietitian can collaborate closely with our in-house podiatrists (for diabetic foot care), physiotherapists and chiropractors (for inflammatory and metabolic health), and psychologists (for intuitive eating and behavioural change).

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Do I need a GP referral to see a dietitian at Saltfleet Clinic if I live in Seaford?
-
A: No, a doctor's referral is not required to consult with our dietitian privately - you can book directly online or over the phone. However, if you are a Seaford resident accessing Medicare rebates under a Chronic Disease Management plan (EPC) or DVA funding, you will need to bring your GP referral paperwork to your initial consultation
-
Q: How long does an initial nutrition consultation take?
-
A: Initial dietetic appointments are allocated 60 minutes. This allows sufficient time to thoroughly review your medical history, dietary intake, lifestyle factors, and blood results, and to co-create your personalised nutrition strategy. Review consultations are typically 30 minutes.
-
Q: Can I claim private health insurance for my dietitian appointment?
-
A: Yes. Most major Australian private health funds provide extras cover for consultations with an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD). We process your claim on-the-spot using our HICAPS terminal so you only pay the remaining gap.
