Transparent fees, no lock-ins, or subscriptions.
You'll always know what a consultation costs before you book, and we'll always tell you the cost of recommended testing before ordering it.
Initial Naturopath Consult | 75 min
$285 AUD
Your initial consultation gives us a comprehensive understanding of your health. We'll explore your health history, symptoms, gut, hormone, and fertility health, diet, lifestyle, and health goals. This is often when we will recommend functional testing such as blood tests, stool tests, vaginal swabs or urine tests unique to you, to help identify the underlying causes of your health concerns. You will leave and you will have a clear path forward.
$285 AUD
Follow Up Naturopath Consult
Your follow up consultation will be when we expect to have any necessary further pathology test results, generally 3-5 weeks after your initial consultation. During your follow up consultation, we deliver your personalised treatment plan, based on your test results, scientific evidence, symptoms & health goals. Your treatment plan will outline your health goals, dietary advice & lifestyle recommendations, as well as herbal medicine &/or nutritional supplementation prescription. Length and fee are confirmed with your practitioner, based on what your case needs.
Review Naturopath Consult | 45 min & 30 min
$187 AUD $125 AUD
Review consultations are a crucial part of treatment as protocols are comprehensive and require review for any required adjustments. Review consultations are usually booked in every 2-8 weeks, allowing for modifications according to your personal progress, assessing pathology tests, and filling prescriptions.

From $350 AUD
Both partners seen together for preconception and fertility work — assessed and prepared as a couple, which is where the best outcomes come from.

- Practitioner-only prescriptions shipped to your door

Functional pathology testing
Alongside a comprehensive consultation, functional pathology testing helps us identify and treat underlying causes. Testing is specific to each person and shows us dysfunction, imbalances, deficiencies and overgrowths at a deeper level.
Testing options we may recommend
- Stool test — gut microbiome mapping
- Vaginal swab — vaginal microbiome mapping
- Urine test — complex UTI screening, thyroid cofactors
- Blood test — iron, vitamin D, B12, thyroid function and general health
- Saliva test — female, male and stress hormones
Pricing varies with the type of test, generally between $50 and $500 AUD.

Your initial consult and any testing are quoted upfront. Beyond that, what you spend depends on how much support your case needs — your practitioner confirms the length and fee of every appointment before it's booked, and you can stop at any point.
Private health insurance
Many funds with extras cover include naturopathy consultations, but rebates vary significantly between funds and between levels of cover — so we can't tell you in advance what you'd be entitled to.
Botanic Ave. issues an itemised invoice for every consultation, which you can submit to your fund yourself.
If a rebate matters to your decision, we'd recommend calling your fund before you book and asking specifically whether your policy includes rebates for naturopathy consultations.
Questions about cost and care
Frequently Asked
What happens in the initial consult?
We take your full history - health goals, symptoms, gut and hormone health, medical history, diet and lifestyle - review any results you already have, and finish with a plan forward accompanied with your functional testing plan.
How do consultations actually run?
By secure video, so you can consult from anywhere in Australia or overseas. Test kits are posted to your home or collected at a local pathology centre, and results are reviewed together on screen.
Can I claim on private health insurance?
Rebates depend on your fund and level of cover. We issue itemised invoices you can submit so check naturopathy cover with your insurer.
Are your practitioners qualified?
Every Botanic Ave. naturopath holds a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy), carries professional indemnity insurance, and is a registered member of a recognised professional association.
How do I get my prescriptions?
We prescribe practitioner-only herbal and nutritional medicines through a secure dispensary that ships directly to your door, usually within two to three business days.
Do you work alongside my GP, obstetrician or fertility specialist?
Always. We work as complementary care, share reports on request, and will refer back to your doctor whenever something needs medical assessment.
How long until I feel a difference?
Most clients notice meaningful change within 6–12 weeks. Hormonal, fertility and gut conditions respond in cycles, so we plan in three-month blocks rather than quick fixes.
More detail on durations, follow-ups and rescheduling is in the consult FAQ on the booking page.
Worth it, in clients' words
"Coming to you with great news - I'm pregnant!! Still early days, but wanted to let you know because I'm so sure your help over the last 12 months has contributed. Never did I think with my history of Endo and PCOS that we would get pregnant on the first month of trying, but here we are"
"So thankful for the care provided from Botanic Avenue, I was experiencing persistent gut issues - I felt that my concerns were genuinely heard and was provided valuable guidance throughout the whole process which taught me lots about my gut health. To this day I still implement so much of what I learnt in that time about how to take care of my gut & health."
"Just wanted to update you with my scan this morning. We have a heart beat and a confirmed pregnancy in my uterus measuring at 6 weeks and 3 days today. Thankyou for your continued support on this journey"
