Nutrition care that understands women’s bodies

A women’s health dietitian brings dedicated focus and extensive experience in these areas, translating the latest evidence into practical strategies that fit your body and your routine — never a one-size-fits-all plan.

What to expect from your women’s health consultation
Every woman’s situation is different, so your care starts with understanding you. Your dietitian takes the time to learn about your symptoms, medical history, blood and pathology results, lifestyle, culture, food preferences and goals before recommending anything.
From there, you and your dietitian build a clear, personalised action plan together — with practical objectives and agreed goals and milestones — plus a defined pathway that maps your next steps and how your ongoing support is structured. You’ll always know what you’re working on and what comes next.
- ✓ A comprehensive nutrition assessment tailored to women’s health
- ✓ Review of your blood and pathology results, where relevant
- ✓ Evidence-based, individualised strategies — never a generic plan
- ✓ A personalised action plan with agreed goals and milestones, plus a clear ongoing pathway
- ✓ Optional in-clinic InBody body composition analysis to track changes over time
- ✓ Coordination with your GP, gynaecologist and wider care team
Appointments are available in clinic or via Telehealth across Australia. We offer HICAPS on-the-spot private health claiming at our clinics, and our care can be accessed through Medicare (with a valid GP referral under a Chronic Disease Management plan), private health insurance, NDIS and DVA, depending on your eligibility.
NutriBlooms provides nutrition and dietetic care. We work alongside — not instead of — your GP, gynaecologist and wider medical team. Nutrition support is tailored to each person, and individual results vary.

Women’s health nutrition — frequently asked questions
What does a women’s health dietitian do?
A women’s health dietitian provides nutrition care tailored to the conditions and life stages that affect women — such as PCOS (PMOS), endometriosis, adenomyosis, fertility, pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause. Rather than a generic diet, they consider your symptoms, blood results, history and goals to create individualised, evidence-based strategies.
What conditions can you help with?
Our Accredited Practising Dietitians support women with PCOS (PMOS), endometriosis and adenomyosis, perimenopause and menopause, fertility and preconception (including support for couples and male fertility), pregnancy, gestational diabetes, postpartum recovery and breastfeeding nutrition. We also support missing or irregular periods (including hypothalamic amenorrhoea), iron deficiency and anaemia, thyroid conditions (including Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism), bone health and osteoporosis, gut health, and your relationship with food.
Is PCOS the same as PMOS?
They refer to the same condition. PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is being renamed PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome) following a global effort led by Monash University, because the condition was never only about cysts or ovaries. We use the term PMOS to reflect the updated understanding, while still referring to PCOS so it’s easy to find what you’re looking for.
Do I need a referral to see a women’s health dietitian?
No referral is needed to book a private appointment. If you’d like to access a Medicare rebate, your GP can refer you under a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan. We can also help you understand your private health, NDIS or DVA options.
Can I claim through Medicare or private health insurance?
Yes, depending on your eligibility. Medicare rebates may apply with a valid GP referral under a Chronic Disease Management plan, and many private health extras policies cover dietetics. We offer HICAPS on-the-spot private health claiming at our clinics, so you can claim your rebate at the appointment.
Can a dietitian help with hormonal symptoms and weight changes?
Nutrition can play a meaningful role in supporting many hormone-related symptoms — including those linked to PCOS (PMOS), perimenopause and menopause. Your dietitian uses evidence-based strategies to help you manage symptoms such as energy changes, blood glucose and weight, working alongside your medical team. Care is individualised, and individual results vary.
Do you offer Telehealth appointments?
Yes. We see women in clinic across Blackburn, Ringwood, Lilydale, Dandenong South, Roxburgh Park and Epping/Lalor, and via Telehealth anywhere in Australia — so you can access women’s health nutrition care from wherever is comfortable for you.
How soon will I see results?
Everyone’s body and circumstances are different, so there’s no fixed timeline. Women’s health nutrition is a progressive process — with each consultation you build knowledge, confidence and momentum towards the goals you set with your dietitian. Individual results vary, and your dietitian will tailor the pace to you.
