Kickstart Program

We are for people who are serious about weight loss and ready to create real and meaningful change in their lives. We are for people who are ready to put the effort in but want to have that effort amplified with the best tools in modern medicine. We are for people who love the support, encouragement and expertise of medical professionals – professionals who really get weight loss and who are on their side. And most importantly, we recognise that obesity is a chronic disease and so we are here for those who want long term weight control after shifting that initial weight.

We want to offer the best of care to our patients, but we also know that our program is not for everybody. We do not want to waste your time or money, so please check your eligibility for the the Kickstart program here.  In particular, our program is not suitable for individuals who have a BMI <27. We’re also not for people who wanta quick fix, magic wand or “just a quick script and I’ll be on my way”.

The Kickstart Program is a supportive 3 month program designed to help you lose weight and regain your health. This comprehensive program combines intensive one-on-one support with a team of health professionals together with highly effective weight loss treatments.

You’ll get to choose the care you need from your own weight loss doctor, dietitian, exercise physiologist and mental health worker

PLUS

You’ll also get get access to free body composition analysis, personalized meal plans with shopping lists, at-home exercise videos, weekly live chats with Alevia doctors and dietitians, and access to an exclusive supportive Facebook community.

Everyone’s weight loss journey is different but at Alevia we have all of the team members you need to support you under the one roof.

Our medical stream is for those who may need medication as part of their treatment, or who have complex health needs.

Our lifestyle stream is for those who prefer a non medication approach with a focus on good nutrition and exercise.

Still not sure?

Don’t worry! We can guide you after your first consultation and we can flex the program along the way if things change.

There are Medicare rebates available for both medical and allied health consultations. Allied health rebates may be possible through either a GP Management Plan (see below) or your health insurance.  Please check with your private health insurance provider re: eligibility and possible rebates.

NB: rebates can only be processed at the time of your consultation, not all upfront at the start of the program.

What are GP Chronic Conition Management Plans (GPCCMP) 

A GP Chronic Condition Management plan is a document created by you and your GP and helps to set out treatment goals for people living with a chronic condition (which obesity is!).  This will provide 
a rebate of $60.35 for up to 5 visits per calendar year with allied health professionals, including dietitians and exercise physiologists. Obesity qualifies for a GPCCMP – so please get in touch with your GP if you think you may be eligible and ask them to name our dietician and exercise physiologist as team members in order to attract a Medicare rebate.

Our Kickstart Program costs $198 a month for 3 months. It is fabulous value for money with one on one care from a team of highly qualified health care professionals there to support you to reach your weight loss goals.  You’ll have all your appts included in the first 3mo and after rebates it’s only $4 a day, which is less than a cup of coffee a day!  Other online programs are more than $500 a month, with no Medicare rebate. That’s awesome value for a doctor led program.  

After your first 12 weeks of intensive weight loss, we will switch to monthly appointments with either your weight loss doctor, dietitian or exercise physiologist. We will use these appointments to help you break through any weight loss plateaus and to give you all the support you need to reach your goal weight. $99/month. And with a medicare rebate it’s even less!

Great work! At this point you’ve will have reclaimed your health and be feeling fabulous. Now we’re onto the most crucial part of the journey – weight maintenance. People who maintain their weight in the first 12 months have the best chance of keeping it off long term. Your appointments will move to quarterly and in this time we will help you solidify habits, learn how to keep weight off for good and not rebound back or risk weight regain. We will keep supporting you until you feel comfortable managing this long term. $49.50/month.

If, after the initial consult, you decide that the program is not right for you, or if you’re not the right fit for us, then we will return your funds! We’re that confident that we can help you! So really, there’s literally nothing to lose (except kilos of course)!

After the first 3 months, you can cancel at any time by sending us an email or calling us.  

We know that many people have tried numerous weight loss attempts on their own. At Alevia you will have a doctor with specialist training in weight management and access to highly effective treatments, which in studies provide 18-22% weight loss.  You’ll also have the full support of the full multi-disciplinary team. With all of this support you’re more likely to achieve your health goals.
