Medically Supported Weight Loss FAQs

Find answers to commonly asked questions about our medically supported weight loss program

What treatments do you offer for weight loss? Are they approved in Australia?

All medical treatments in our program are approved in Australia and widely used by clinicians for weight management. To ensure safe, personalised care—and in line with regulations—we don’t discuss specific treatments until your GP telehealth consult. Your GP will review your medical profile and recommend the options best suited to you.

How much does the program cost?

Pricing varies based on your personalised treatment plan but begins at $461/month (billed every 28 days) once your GP prescribes medical therapy. After your no-cost GP assessment, you’ll receive a confirmation of all fees before you decide to proceed. There are no fees to take the quiz or to have your eligibility reviewed by a GP.

Who might not be suitable for the medical program?

This pathway isn’t suitable for everyone. For example, it may not be appropriate if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding or have certain complex medical conditions. If the medical program isn’t a fit, you can still access our one-on-one dietitian coaching for a non-medicated approach to weight management.

Is the program safe?

Absolutely. All treatments are prescribed and monitored by registered Australian GPs. Before any recommendation, your GP will conduct a full medical review to confirm suitability and discuss potential risks and side-effects. You’ll continue to receive regular GP and dietitian support throughout your program to ensure your safety and well-being.

Who are the medical consultations with?

Every medical consultation is conducted by a registered Australian GP. We do not use nurse practitioners or non-medical staff for assessment or ongoing oversight of your treatment plan.
