At Everyday Nutrition, I work closely with GPs, gastroenterologists and other healthcare providers to support people in managing complex digestive issues and nutrition-related concerns.
Referrals are welcome for patients needing specialised dietetic input for IBS, food intolerances (including FODMAP, RPAH and low histamine), menopause nutrition, anti-inflammatory eating, and general gut health.
My approach is evidence-based and collaborative. I aim to complement the medical care you provide by offering patients clear, practical strategies for managing their symptoms, while also addressing the emotional and lifestyle factors that influence their condition. Regular communication and correspondence letters are provided to ensure continuity of care.
I accept referrals under Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plans.
Patients will receive a partial Medicare rebate for dietetic consultations. Please note that we do not bulk bill, and the rebate does not cover the full consultation fee.
If you would like to refer a patient, please fill out a referral form and forward a referral letter and care plan (where applicable)
Patients can then book directly online or contact the clinic for assistance.
Accredited Practising Dietitian and Registered Nurse with advanced training in IBS, food intolerances, and gut health.
I work alongside you and provide clear correspondence to keep you updated on patient progress.
All recommendations are grounded in current research, with practical, real-world strategies for patients.
Consultations are tailored to each patient’s needs, taking into account symptoms, lifestyle, and emotional wellbeing.
Easy online bookings and prompt communication ensure patients can access support without delays.
Your first appointment, whether it be online or in clinic, will last for about 1 hour and always starts with an in-depth assessment. We want to get to know you so that we can tailor advice to fit your specific needs.
Provide your patient’s details and the reason for referral using our secure online form.
Email or fax through relevant documents such as recent test results, specialist letters, or a Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan.
Ask your patient to book directly at their convenience. Appointment times vary based on demand.
Joanna is registered with Medicare. Clients with a Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan from their GP can claim a partial rebate (note we do not bulk bill). Private health insurance rebates may also be available depending on your fund and cover type. You do not need a referral to claim from your private health fund.
You do not need a referral from your doctor to book an appointment with Joanna. If you plan to claim a rebate from your private health fund, a referral is not required. However, if you wish to claim a rebate from Medicare, you will need a referral from your GP and a Chronic Disease Management Plan.
Yes, we consult with clients all around Australia. We use a secure platform called Coviu for all virtual consultations. You don’t need to download any software — we’ll simply send a link that opens in any browser on your computer, phone, or tablet. For clients in Melbourne, we also offer face-to-face appointments on Wednesdays at Honeycomb Health in Burwood 3125
Our services are primarily aimed at adults. We do see school age children for IBS and food intolerances as long as they do not have other underlying health conditions.
Your first appointment is a collaborative journey where we take the time to understand your unique story. Together, we’ll review your health history, current symptoms, and goals. From there, we’ll create a realistic, practical plan tailored to you. This may involve adjusting your current meals, sharing meal and snack ideas (with recipes), and reviewing whether supplements might be started, adjusted, or discontinued. If needed, we may also recommend further tests or medications to discuss with your doctor.
Joanna specialises in a wide range of gastrointestinal conditions, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), food intolerances (such as Low FODMAP and RPAH/Histamine diets) and gut-related symptoms like bloating, constipation, and diarrhoea. She also has a focus on the connection between gut health, hormones, and women’s health, particularly during perimenopause and menopause.
We understand that life happens and you may need to cancel or reschedule. To allow us to offer your appointment time to someone else, we ask that you give as much notice as possible. You can cancel up to 24 hours before your appointment at no cost. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice incur a 50% fee, while cancellations with less than 12 hours’ notice—or failure to attend—will be charged the full appointment fee.
Our comprehensive online intake form covers most of the information we need. To make your appointment as productive as possible, please bring or email any referrals or test results beforehand. It can also be helpful to come with a list of specific questions or topics you want to discuss.
We believe that you are in charge of your health journey. While we may suggest an elimination diet like the Low FODMAP or a low Histamine diet to help identify your specific triggers, our approach is always collaborative. If you are not comfortable with a restrictive diet, we will discuss and explore other evidence-based options. Our ultimate aim is to help you build a balanced, diverse, and sustainable eating pattern so you can enjoy food without fear or stress
We know how challenging gastro-intestinal nutrition can be and how overwhelming it can be for your patients. We all want to provide accurate, up-to-date and evidence based guidance.
