Your care pathway
The program, step by step
Your pathway is tailored to your needs and guided by clinical assessment.
- 01
Patient registration and initial screening
Before your first consultation, complete secure online registration and a pre-consultation questionnaire.
If you need the registration link or have questions about completing the screening, contact the practice on 03 4421 6384.
- 02
Comprehensive initial clinical assessment
Your Nurse Practitioner conducts a comprehensive assessment to understand your health and individual needs.
This discussion helps inform an appropriate, person-centred approach to weight management.
- 03
Clinical investigations and risk assessment
Investigations and risk assessment are considered according to your clinical findings.
Your Nurse Practitioner will discuss any recommended investigations with you.
- 04
Develop an individualised weight management plan
You and your Nurse Practitioner work together to establish shared, realistic and measurable goals.
The plan is individualised to your needs and may be adjusted as your care progresses.
- 05
Lifestyle and behavioural management
Structured support may cover nutrition, behaviour support and physical activity.
Your management plan may also include referral to allied health professionals where considered appropriate.
- 06
Pharmacological weight management
Medication may be considered when lifestyle interventions alone are insufficient or clinical risk supports combined treatment.
Medication is not suitable for everyone. Any option is considered individually, following clinical assessment and discussion with your Nurse Practitioner.
- 07
Ongoing monitoring and review
Your progress and plan are reviewed over time to support continuity of care and sustainable wellbeing.
Follow-up helps your Nurse Practitioner and you assess progress and consider any adjustments to your care plan.
Your care, your pace
Weight management is individual. A consultation gives you the opportunity to discuss your health and goals with a Nurse Practitioner, who can help determine an appropriate next step. Treatment options, investigations and medication are considered only when clinically appropriate.
The program information is general and does not replace individual medical advice. Suitability for any treatment, including medication, requires clinical assessment.
