The cost of an online weight loss clinic comes from three main things: consult fees, any medicines (charged by the pharmacy) and any membership or program fee. At My Weight Loss Clinic you pay per consult, with no membership: the initial consult is $59.99, or bulk billed for eligible patients; reviews are $69.99; extended follow-ups and dietitian follow-ups are $85.99 each. Medicines, if prescribed, are priced separately by the pharmacy. Because other clinics bundle costs differently, compare the total cost over three months, not the headline price.

What you pay for at an online weight loss clinic

Cost	What to know
Consult fees	Charged per consult (pay-as-you-go) or bundled into a membership. Some consults are bulk billed or attract a Medicare rebate for eligible patients
Medicines	If a medicine is prescribed, the pharmacy sets the price. Prices can differ between pharmacies, and some medicines are subsidised under the PBS only when PBS criteria are met
Pathology	Blood tests are done at a collection centre. Many providers bulk bill Medicare-eligible tests, but some charge a fee
Dietitian	Private unless you have a chronic condition management plan from your usual general practice. Some private health extras policies help
Delivery	Pharmacies may charge for delivery
Membership or program fees	Common with subscription programs. Not covered by Medicare
Cancellation fees	Most clinics charge for late cancellations or missed appointments

My Weight Loss Clinic fees

Consult	Length	Fee
Initial consult with a doctor or nurse practitioner	20 min	$59.99, or bulk billed for eligible patients
Review consult	10 min	$69.99
Extended follow-up consult	20 min	$85.99
Dietitian follow-up consult	20 min	$85.99
Dietitian initial consult	30 min	$100.99
Medicines, if prescribed		Priced separately by the dispensing pharmacy
Membership or joining fee		None

The initial consult fee is set lower than our follow-up fees to make it easier to get started. Late cancellations (less than 1 business day’s notice) and missed appointments are charged the fee for the booked time slot. See Fees, Medicare and bulk billing.

What three months might cost: worked examples

These examples show consult fees only, to help you compare. They aren’t a recommended schedule: your doctor or nurse practitioner will suggest how often to review based on your plan.

Example (first three months)	Consult fees	If the initial consult is bulk billed
Initial consult + 2 review consults	$199.97	$139.98
Initial consult + 2 extended follow-ups	$231.97	$171.98
Initial consult + 2 review consults + 2 dietitian follow-ups	$371.95	$311.96

Add any medicines, pathology fees and delivery to get your total. Ask the pharmacy for a price before you fill a prescription.

Pay-as-you-go vs subscription costs

Pay-as-you-go clinics charge only for the consults you book. Subscription programs charge a recurring fee, often monthly, that may bundle consults, coaching and sometimes medicines, and may have a minimum term.

Neither is automatically cheaper. A subscription can work out well if you use everything it includes; pay-as-you-go can cost less if you need fewer appointments or the subscription doesn’t include medicines. Our pay as you go vs subscription checklist lists the questions to ask.

How Medicare can reduce the cost

Bulk billing. At My Weight Loss Clinic, the initial consult is bulk billed for eligible patients, so you pay nothing for it.
Medicare rebates. If a consult is eligible for Medicare but isn’t bulk billed, you pay the fee and we lodge your Medicare claim for you at the same time. The rebate amount is set by the Medicare Benefits Schedule and depends on the type and length of the consult.
Telehealth rule. Since 1 November 2025, Medicare telehealth consults usually need a face-to-face visit with the same doctor, nurse practitioner or practice in the past 12 months, unless an exemption applies. That’s why bulk billing depends on your circumstances.
Dietitian visits. With a chronic condition management plan from your usual general practice, you can claim Medicare rebates for up to five allied health visits a year, which can include our dietitians.
Medicare Safety Net. If your out-of-pocket costs for out-of-hospital Medicare services are high in a calendar year, the safety net may reduce them.

Can I use private health insurance?

By law, private health insurance can’t cover out-of-hospital medical services that Medicare covers, such as consults with your usual medical clinic. Extras cover helps with services Medicare doesn’t cover, and some extras policies include dietitian consults. Check with your insurer what your policy pays for dietetics, and whether there’s a waiting period or annual limit.

Ways to keep costs down

Ask whether bulk billing applies to you when you book, and tell us if you think a Medicare telehealth exemption applies.
Ask your pathology provider whether your tests are bulk billed before you go.
Ask your pharmacy for the price of any prescription. You can take an eScript to the pharmacy of your choice.
Ask your usual general practice about a chronic condition management plan if you have a chronic condition and want Medicare-rebated dietitian visits.
Avoid late cancellation fees by giving at least 1 business day’s notice if you need to change an appointment.
Compare total cost, not headline price, including any membership, medicines and delivery.

Is the cheapest option the right one?

Price matters, but so does the care. Whatever you pay, check that you’ll see a registered doctor or nurse practitioner, that you’ll be properly assessed before any treatment decision, that you’ll have regular reviews, and that the service tells you clearly when you need in-person or specialist care. No legitimate service can guarantee how much weight you’ll lose.
