(08) 6110 0570admin@pdchealthhub.com.auA guided supermarket visit with a dietitian to learn label reading, compare similar products and shop with confidence for your health and budget.
A supermarket tour is a guided shop with an Accredited Practising Dietitian. You walk the aisles together and learn how to read food labels, compare similar products and choose foods that fit your health needs, budget and household. It suits people living with diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure or food intolerances, families, and anyone who finds supermarket shopping overwhelming. It is education, not product endorsement: your dietitian shows you how to choose, and does not recommend or promote particular brands.
The nutrition information panel lists energy, protein, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, sugars and sodium, and the per 100 g column is the one to use when comparing similar products.1 The panel shows total sugars, which include both natural and added sugars, so the ingredient list is where you spot added sugars.1,2 Ingredients are listed from the largest amount to the smallest by weight, and sodium is the part of salt linked with blood pressure.1,3 For people living with diabetes, total carbohydrate and fibre matter as well as sugars.2 A product labelled as reduced salt or no added sugar can still contain a lot of salt or natural sugars, so the numbers are worth checking.1,3
The Health Star Rating gives many packaged foods a score from half a star to five stars and is designed to compare similar products, such as one yoghurt with another, rather than different types of food.4 It is voluntary, and it does not take into account everything about a food, such as vitamins and minerals or how it is processed, so we use it alongside the nutrition panel and your own health needs.4,5 On the tour you practise comparing real products in the aisle and leave with a simple checklist for your next shop.
Most people use more than one service over time. Every service here works from the same shared plan, so you never have to start your story again.
Three steps from your first call to a plan the whole team can see.
Book online or call (08) 6110 0570. If you have a GP referral or care plan, bring it with you or ask your GP to send it to us.
Your clinician takes a full history, asks what matters most to you and agrees goals you can work towards together.
With your consent, your plan is shared with your GP and with other PDC clinicians you see, so everyone works from the same page.
Most of our services can be booked without one. You do need a GP referral to claim a Medicare rebate, and a Home Medicines Review or Residential Medication Management Review always starts with a GP referral. NDIS, DVA and workers' compensation claims each have their own paperwork. If you are not sure, call us on (08) 6110 0570 and we will check before you book.
If your GP has prepared a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan and referred you to us, Medicare pays a rebate for up to five eligible allied health visits a calendar year, shared across disciplines. Private health cover may also contribute, depending on your policy. We confirm what applies to you when you book.
Many of our services can be delivered by secure video call. Where a service needs a hands-on assessment, such as a foot or physiotherapy examination, we will book you in person at one of our ten clinics.
Your referral or care plan if you have one, a list of your current medicines, any recent test results, and your Medicare, DVA or NDIS details. If you use a glucose meter, CGM or insulin pump, bring that too.
Yes. A family member, carer, interpreter or support worker is welcome at any appointment. If you need an interpreter, let us know when you book.
Book online in under a minute, or call and our care team will check this is the right place to start.
