How do I book a first appointment at Mojo Klinik?

All new-patient appointments at Mojo Klinik are booked online, through our booking system . Reception cannot take a new-patient booking by phone. The booking takes five steps: who is booking, the date, the doctor and time, your details, and confirmation. You choose in person at Neutral Bay, Zoom or phone. A card is added to confirm the booking. Nothing is charged upfront. Your confirmation email carries the link to the new-patient questionnaire. Sundays are not available. Existing patients book review appointments online too. If you would like to see the fees first, they are all on our consultation fees page.

Do I need a GP referral to see a doctor at Mojo Klinik?

No. You do not need a GP referral to book at Mojo Klinik. You can book a first appointment directly, online, with either Dr Maria Mackey or Dr Emmanuel Varipatis. If you have letters from your GP or your specialists, send them with your questionnaire before the appointment. They are read before you arrive, along with your recent results. That way the hour goes on your story, not on finding the paperwork. Everything to send, and when, is on what happens in your first appointment . When you are ready, book online .

Which doctor do I book with?

Both doctors at Mojo Klinik see patients with complex, long-standing health concerns. If you are unsure which doctor suits your concern, call reception on (02) 9133 8500 and the team will help you choose. As a guide, Dr Mackey is usually the first booking for hormones, perimenopause and menopause, thyroid, gut concerns, insulin resistance and burnout. Dr Varipatis is usually the first booking for chronic infections, post-viral fatigue and Long COVID, heavy metals, IV therapy, and integrative supportive care during cancer treatment. Both doctors see chronic fatigue. If you are having cancer treatment, book the one-hour New Patient Appointment with Dr Varipatis. Supportive care at Mojo Klinik runs in parallel with your oncology care, never instead of it. Each page on our conditions hub lists the ways to start. You can read more about Dr Maria Mackey and Dr Emmanuel Varipatis .

Can my first appointment be by telehealth?

Yes. A first appointment at Mojo Klinik can be by Zoom or phone, from anywhere in Australia. In person at Neutral Bay is strongly recommended for a first visit, because a new-patient appointment by telehealth carries no Medicare rebate. In person, it does. Once you have been seen in person, Zoom and phone follow-ups attract a Medicare rebate for the next 12 months, as long as you and your doctor are both in Australia. For patients who live some distance away, that means one trip to Neutral Bay, then reviews from home for the next 12 months. It is your responsibility to check you are eligible for a Medicare rebate before booking a telehealth appointment. IV appointments are in person only. Telehealth fees and rebate rules are on our consultation fees page, and directions are on find us .

Is Mojo Klinik taking new patients?

Yes. Both doctors at Mojo Klinik, Dr Maria Mackey and Dr Emmanuel Varipatis, are taking new patients. The live calendar in our online booking system shows current availability for each doctor, by day and by appointment type. New-patient appointments are booked online only. Choose the doctor first, then the date and the time that suit you.

How much does a first appointment cost?

First appointments at Mojo Klinik range from $240 to $650 in person, depending on the doctor, the appointment type and its length. Most new patients book the one-hour Mojo New Patient Appointment, which is $480 to $490 in person. Shorter first appointments, such as the 30-minute IV Therapy Initial Assessment and the Hormone and Gut Assessments, are available for some concerns. Most telehealth appointments, by Zoom or phone, have a higher fee than in person. All appointments are privately billed. Eligible appointments attract a Medicare rebate, explained below. Every appointment type and fee, for both doctors, is on our consultation fees page. When you are ready, book online .

How much does a follow-up appointment cost?

Follow-up appointments at Mojo Klinik range from $120 to $490 in person, depending on the doctor and the length of the appointment, from 15 minutes to one hour. Your doctor will advise which length suits what there is to review. Most telehealth follow-ups, by Zoom or phone, have a higher fee than in person. Eligible follow-ups attract a Medicare rebate, including by Zoom or phone once you have been seen in person in the last 12 months. Every appointment type and fee is on our consultation fees page.

Is there a Medicare rebate, do you bulk bill, and does private health insurance cover appointments?

Mojo Klinik does not bulk bill. Appointments are privately billed, and eligible appointments attract a Medicare rebate. The rebate depends on the length of the appointment, and whether it is in person, by Zoom or by phone. In person, most appointments attract a rebate of $45.05 to $128.35, depending on length. A new-patient appointment by telehealth carries no rebate. After an in-person visit, Zoom and phone follow-ups are rebated for 12 months, with both you and your doctor in Australia. The Heavy Metal Initial Appointment is privately billed, with no Medicare rebate. Phone and Zoom appointments cost the same, and they are not rebated the same. A phone appointment at Mojo Klinik is rebated at the level of a 15-minute Short Consultation, however long the appointment runs. An eligible Zoom appointment is rebated at the full level for its length. For that reason, we recommend Zoom over phone for telehealth appointments. For private health insurance, check with your fund. Whether your fund contributes to any part of your care depends on your fund and your level of cover. It helps to tell them the appointment type and whether it is in person or by telehealth. After you pay, the rebate is deposited into your nominated bank account. This needs Medicare Online set up. Allow up to 3 business days. Patients who have reached the Medicare Safety Net may receive more. Rebate amounts can change. Details are on our consultation fees page.

Why is the first appointment an hour, and why does it cost more than a standard GP visit?

The first appointment at Mojo Klinik runs for an hour because it covers your whole history, your previous results, and the thinking about what is driving your symptoms. The fee reflects all of the doctor’s time on your care, before, during and after the hour in the room. That time includes reading your questionnaire and results before you arrive, the consultation itself, and the documentation that follows, such as pathology requests and referrals. Dr Maria Mackey puts it this way: “Most people have left it a lifetime to see someone about their health vs an illness. An hour is a drop in the bucket compared to your life.” It is a different kind of appointment, not a longer version of the usual one. More on the hour is on what happens in your first appointment and our approach .

How much do tests cost, and does Medicare cover them?

It depends on which tests are recommended for you. Some tests are covered by Medicare. Others, including many functional and specialised tests, are not, and the laboratory bills them privately. That is normal for those tests, and not a billing error. Tests at Mojo Klinik are chosen for your specific picture, only where they are clinically indicated. There is no standard panel that every patient has. Tests are carried out by external laboratories, not at Mojo Klinik, and the cost of any privately billed test is explained before you agree to it. If you need a pathology form outside an appointment, a fee applies. The kinds of tests the doctors may use are described on our approach , and appointment fees are on our consultation fees page.

What is your cancellation policy?

You can cancel or reschedule a Mojo Klinik appointment free of charge with at least 48 hours’ notice. With less than 48 hours’ notice, or if you do not attend, 50% of the appointment fee is charged to the card added at booking. The card is not charged when you book. It is only used under this policy. You will receive an SMS reminder before your appointment. Reply “Yes” to confirm. An appointment that is not confirmed may be released. To cancel or reschedule, call reception on (02) 9133 8500 or email reception@mojoklinik.com. The full terms are on our consultation fees page and in our terms of use .

What other fees might apply?

Paperwork requested outside an appointment carries a fixed fee at Mojo Klinik. This covers scripts, pathology forms, referrals and letters, and medical records transfers. No scripts or paperwork are released until the related appointment is paid in full. Appointments that run over the scheduled time are charged pro rata. So is a very large volume of results to review, because the reading time adds to the consultation. There is no fee to book. The card added at booking is only charged under the cancellation policy . The complete fee list is on our consultation fees page.

What do I need to do before my first appointment?

Before your first Mojo Klinik appointment, complete the new-patient questionnaire and send your recent results. Both need to reach us at least 3 days before the appointment, so your doctor has time to read them. The questionnaire link arrives in your confirmation email. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Send with it: recent test results hospital discharge papers and specialist letters anything else you consider relevant You can reply to the confirmation email with your results attached. Before the day, you will receive an SMS reminder. Reply “Yes” to confirm, or the appointment may be released. The full checklist is on what happens in your first appointment .

Do I need to send all my previous test results?

Send your recent and relevant results, not everything you have ever had done. They are read before your Mojo Klinik appointment, so the hour goes on your story. A very large volume of results adds reading time, and that time is charged pro rata. If you are unsure what is relevant, send the most recent and let your doctor ask for more. Dr Maria Mackey explains why previous results matter, and why they are only the beginning: “Read the whole timeline, not just the last six months.” How to send them is on what happens in your first appointment .

Where is Mojo Klinik, and where do I park?

Mojo Klinik is at Suite 11, 40 Yeo Street, Neutral Bay NSW 2089. The entrance is not through the Yeo Street foyer. It is on the ground floor, at the corner of Barry Street and May Lane. The Barry Street Council Car Park is the closest option, with 2 hours free. There is metered street parking nearby, and an accessible metered bay directly at the Barry Street entrance. By bus, the clinic is about a 5-minute walk from the B-Line stop on Military Road. There are six steps with handrails at the entrance. A portable ramp is available, so call ahead on (02) 9133 8500 and reception will have it ready. The bathroom has one step and is not wheelchair accessible. Maps and more transport options are on find us .

What are your opening hours?

Mojo Klinik is open Monday 9:00am to 5:00pm, Tuesday and Wednesday 8:00am to 6:00pm, Thursday 9:00am to 5:00pm, and Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm. The clinic is closed on weekends and NSW public holidays. New-patient appointments are booked online through our booking system . For general enquiries, call (02) 9133 8500 during opening hours. Outside those hours the phone goes to voicemail. In an emergency, call 000. Directions are on find us .

What happens in the first appointment?

Your first Mojo Klinik appointment is one hour with your doctor. It covers a comprehensive history, a review of your previous results, an examination where it is indicated, and the work of identifying the likely drivers behind your symptoms. Testing, where it is indicated, is organised after the appointment. Your plan is built at a follow-up, once those results are back. You will not leave with a complete diagnosis on day one. That is by design. Dr Maria Mackey describes the purpose of the hour: “Ask the questions and listen, listen, listen. Test before you treat.” More detail is on what happens in your first appointment . When you are ready, book online .

How long before I have a treatment plan?

Your treatment plan at Mojo Klinik is built at your follow-up appointment, once your test results are back. The first appointment gathers the history. The follow-up is where the findings are explained and the plan is set out. The follow-up is usually a Standard Consultation (30 minutes) or a Functional Consultation (45 minutes), depending on how much there is to review. Your doctor will advise which one suits your results. The timing depends on which tests are organised and how long each laboratory takes to report. Fees for both appointment types are on our consultation fees page. What happens in the first hour is on what happens in your first appointment .

Will I still see my own GP?

Yes. Keep your GP. Mojo Klinik runs in parallel with your GP and any specialists you see, not instead of them. You do not need a referral from your GP to book with us. Dr Maria Mackey puts it simply: “We love for your GP to remain yours. We want you to have the best medical care, your personal A team.” Mojo Klinik does not replace specialist care. Your GP continues their work, and we do ours: a full first hour, a wider history, and investigation matched to your picture. The two run in parallel. How our approach differs from standard care is set out on our approach .

Can I get a prescription, or a specific treatment, before I’ve been assessed?

No. At Mojo Klinik, every prescription and treatment is considered only after a full assessment, and only where it is clinically appropriate for you. We are not able to confirm a specific treatment or prescription before your appointment. If you are already on a regimen, set it out in your new-patient questionnaire. Your doctor reads it before you arrive, and there is time to go through it in detail at the appointment. Repeat scripts without a consultation are for existing patients only, and a fee applies. Mojo Klinik does not provide quick repeat scripts with no investigation behind them. To start, book a first appointment . What to prepare is on what happens in your first appointment .

My test results keep coming back normal, and I still don’t feel normal. Can Mojo Klinik help?

Most patients at Mojo Klinik arrive having been told their results are normal. A normal result rules some things out. It does not always explain how you feel. Our doctors look for the mechanism behind your symptoms, not another label for them. Dr Maria Mackey built the clinic for exactly this: “People whose test results keep coming back normal, while their life doesn’t feel normal, come to me at Mojo Klinik to find the biological reason their mojo went missing, and to get it back.” In practice, that means a full history, a review of what has already been tested, and testing beyond the standard panel where it is clinically indicated. Read more on our approach and the conditions we see . When you are ready, book online .

What conditions do Mojo Klinik’s doctors see?

Mojo Klinik’s doctors see patients with complex and long-standing health concerns. Eleven conditions have their own page: IBS and SIBO Chronic bloating and leaky gut Perimenopause and menopause Hormone imbalance Thyroid dysfunction and Hashimoto’s Chronic fatigue and ME/CFS Post-viral fatigue and Long COVID Adrenal fatigue, HPA dysfunction and burnout Chronic infections Heavy metal toxicity Insulin resistance and metabolic health The doctors also see a wider range of concerns, listed under “Other conditions we work with” on our conditions hub . Some conditions, including cancer, are seen for supportive care only, while conventional treatment continues. We do not offer integrative medicine as an alternative to conventional treatment for serious disease.

Yes. Both doctors at Mojo Klinik see men as well as women. Male hormones, metabolic health and insulin resistance, fatigue, gut concerns and chronic infections such as prostatitis are all part of the work. Men who look after everything except themselves, the car, the house, the business, the family, come to Mojo Klinik for a proper look under the bonnet, so they can keep doing the things they have been putting first. The first appointment is the same one-hour New Patient Appointment. Read more on hormone imbalance and insulin resistance , or book online .

Yes. Mojo Klinik’s doctors see children and teenagers for a range of concerns. Children are affected by many of the same conditions as adults, and many of the conditions on our conditions list are seen in children, such as gut concerns, fatigue, chronic infections and heavy metal exposure. The approach is the same as for adults: a full history, a review of previous results, and testing only where it is clinically indicated. If you are unsure which doctor suits your child’s concern, call reception on (02) 9133 8500. When you book online for a child or teenager, choose “for someone else” in the first step of our booking system .

How is Mojo Klinik different from seeing my GP?

A Mojo Klinik appointment is longer, starts from a wider history, and looks for the mechanism behind your symptoms. Testing goes beyond a standard panel where it is clinically indicated. It is a different kind of appointment, not a replacement for general practice. General practice does essential work, and your GP stays your GP. Dr Maria Mackey is herself a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP). What Mojo Klinik adds is time: a first appointment of a full hour, a review of everything already tested, and a plan built from your results at follow-up. Our approach page sets out the differences side by side, from appointment length to follow-up.

Are Mojo Klinik’s doctors medically qualified and registered?

Yes. Both doctors at Mojo Klinik are registered medical practitioners (general registration) with AHPRA, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. Their registration can be checked on the public register of practitioners . Dr Maria Mackey , MBChB (Otago, 1993) FRACGP FAARM Dip Hom. AHPRA MED0000954798. In continuous Australian practice since 1994. Dr Emmanuel Varipatis , MBBS (UNSW, 1979) FACNEM FASLM. AHPRA MED0001051335. In private practice since 1984. Full qualifications, fellowships and training are on each doctor’s page.

What is integrative and functional medicine at Mojo Klinik?

At Mojo Klinik, integrative and functional medicine is doctor-led medicine that looks for the underlying mechanism behind your symptoms. Our doctors draw on four disciplines: functional, integrative, nutritional and environmental medicine. Conventional medicine is part of it, not opposed to it. Dr Maria Mackey puts the thinking simply: “Tired isn’t a diagnosis. It’s a symptom. And a symptom is a question, not an answer.” A label tells you what to call your problem. A mechanism tells you what to do about it. That idea runs through every appointment. The four disciplines, and how they compare with standard care, are on our approach .

What kinds of tests might the doctors use?

Mojo Klinik’s doctors use tests from four categories, and only where they are clinically indicated for you. There is no standard panel that every patient has. The categories are hormonal and metabolic, gut and microbiome, environmental and toxicology, and functional and nutrient testing. Examples include a full thyroid panel and fasting insulin, SIBO breath testing, provoked urine testing for heavy metals, and markers of nutrient status and inflammation. Which tests, if any, is decided at your appointment, from your history and your previous results. More on each category is on our approach . Breath testing is explained on IBS and SIBO , and provoked urine testing on heavy metal toxicity .

Do you offer IV therapy, and can I book one directly?

Yes, Mojo Klinik offers IV therapy as a medical service. There is no walk-in drip service. Every IV starts with an IV Therapy Initial Assessment with Dr Emmanuel Varipatis, 30 minutes, in person or by Zoom. The in-person assessment attracts a Medicare rebate. Fees are on our consultation fees page. The assessment is where your doctor decides whether IV therapy is clinically appropriate for you. If you have a complex medical history (such as cancer), book the one-hour New Patient Appointment with Dr Varipatis instead. If IV therapy is suitable, the treatment is prescribed for you and priced at the assessment. IV treatment carries no Medicare rebate. Dr Maria Mackey puts it plainly: “IVs have a time and a place. It isn’t a drip on demand.” IV therapy is doctor-directed and nurse-administered, in person only, at Neutral Bay. The pathway is explained on IV therapy . To start, book online .

Do you offer medically supervised weight management?

Yes. Mojo Klinik offers medically supervised weight management with Dr Emmanuel Varipatis. It starts with investigation. The drivers that affect weight, such as thyroid, hormones, metabolism, blood sugar, sleep and gut, are assessed before any plan is built. The plan runs under medical supervision from start to finish, with monthly review consultations, nutrition individualised to you, and prescription where it is clinically appropriate. It is not a questionnaire-and-script service. Appointments are billed per the consultation fee schedule, with no separate programme fee. Your GP stays your GP throughout. To start, book a New Patient Appointment with Dr Varipatis through our booking system . You can read more about Dr Emmanuel Varipatis .

Does Mojo Klinik offer cosmetic treatments?

Yes, through our sister clinic. Mojo Cosmetic Clinic is a doctor-led regenerative aesthetic medicine clinic at the same Neutral Bay address. Mojo Klinik itself is an integrative and functional medicine clinic, and the two are booked separately. Dr Maria Mackey, MBChB FRACGP FAARM Dip Hom, registered medical practitioner (general registration, AHPRA MED0000954798), is Head of Regenerative Cosmetics and performs every doctor-led treatment there. Doctor-led treatments, such as PRP, Aptos Thread Lifting and cosmetic injectables, start with a consultation with her, where she assesses whether a treatment is clinically appropriate for you. PRP is made from your own blood, drawn by Dr Mackey at the same appointment. Skin treatments, such as skin needling, clinical peels, SQT Bio-Microneedling and Buccal Sculpt and Release, are carried out by the clinic’s beauty therapist under clinical oversight. We also offer ONDA Body and Facial Contouring, a targeted treatment for stubborn fat reduction, cellulite smoothing and skin tightening. The two clinics can be used together or separately. Neither requires the other. The treatment menu, and how to book, are on the Mojo Cosmetic Clinic website .

Why Normal Test Results Do Not Always Mean You Are Well

You have had the blood tests. The scan. The referral. Everything came back normal, and yet you know something is not right. If that sounds familiar, an integrative medicine consultation may be the next sensible step, and this guide from Mojo Klinik explains exactly what one involves.

Standard pathology is designed to detect disease. It is very good at that job. It is not designed to measure how well you are functioning. Think of a car service. A mechanic checks the brakes and the lights, and everything passes. That does not tell you the engine is running rough or the fuel tank is nearly empty. Your body works the same way. A result inside the reference range tells you disease is unlikely. It does not tell you why your energy, sleep or mood has changed.

That gap is where an integrative medicine consultation earns its place. The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners describes general practice as the first point of care, and that is exactly how we see it. We are the deeper look that comes after the standard screen, not a replacement for it.

What Happens in an Integrative Medicine Consultation Process

An integrative medicine consultation is a long appointment where a doctor takes a full history, reviews your previous results and builds a plan around your story rather than a single symptom. Expect the first visit to run well beyond a standard ten minute slot. Expect the first visit to run well beyond a standard ten minute slot.

Before Your First Appointment

A common pattern is that patients arrive with a folder of results and no clear timeline. Before you come in, write a short history of when each symptom started, what makes it better or worse, and what you have already tried. This is the single most useful thing you can do. It turns a scattered story into a sequence your doctor can read.

Your First Appointment: The History

The first appointment is mostly listening. We ask about sleep, stress, digestion, cycle, diet, energy across the day and how long you have felt this way. We also ask about the parts of your life that do not fit on a standard form: shift work, caring responsibilities, grief, a recent move. These details often hold the clue. Bring your history, because the timeline matters more than any single result.

Testing and Investigation

Testing comes second, and only where it changes the plan. This is not a scattergun approach. Your doctor will explain what each test is for, what it can and cannot show, and what the result would change. Some tests are standard pathology. Some are functional pathology that looks at nutrient status, gut function or hormone patterns beyond the usual reference range. Not every patient needs every test. The question is always whether the result would alter what we do next.

Follow-Up and Plan Review

Follow-up appointments review results with you and adjust the approach. This is the part most people find new: the plan is reviewed, not filed. A typical pattern is a follow-up at four to six weeks, then again at three months if needed. Between visits, you may be asked to track sleep, energy or digestion in a simple way. That information shapes the next step. If something is not working, we change it. If a result needs standard medical management, we will tell you plainly and point you back to your GP.

Key TakeawayAn integrative medicine consultation is a structured process: history first, testing second, review third. The plan is built around your timeline, not a single symptom.

How This Differs from a Standard GP Appointment

A standard GP appointment is designed to address one or two problems in ten to fifteen minutes. An integrative medicine consultation is designed to look at how several problems connect. That is the main difference. It is not a replacement for your GP. It is a longer, deeper look at symptoms that have not been explained by standard tests.

How to Book a Consultation at Mojo Klinik

Booking starts with a phone call or an enquiry through the Mojo Klinik website. Our team will explain the process, answer your questions and match you with one of our two AHPRA-registered medical doctors, who together bring over 60 years of practice.

What to Bring to Your First Visit

Any blood tests or imaging from the last two years
A list of current medicines and supplements
A short written timeline of when symptoms started
Your questions, written down
Medicare card

That list matters more than people expect. A common mistake is arriving without old results, which means repeating tests you have already had.

Functional Medicine for Chronic Fatigue Sydney Patients Can Access

Functional medicine for chronic fatigue in Sydney patients starts with the same question: what is driving the fatigue? Rather than labelling the symptom, we look for its drivers, which may include sleep quality, thyroid function, nutrient status, gut health and blood sugar regulation.

This is where the petrol tank analogy helps. Two cars can hold the same fuel level and drive very differently, because one has a blocked filter. Fatigue works the same way. The tank looks fine on paper. Something upstream is not delivering.

A 2019 study in JAMA Network Open followed more than 7,000 patients in functional medicine settings and found significantly better physical health and wellbeing at six months. That does not promise the same for you. It does suggest the approach is worth a proper look.

What Does an Integrative Medicine Consultation Cost in Sydney?

We are upfront about fees before your appointment so there are no surprises.

An integrative medicine consultation is billed privately. The fee depends on the length of the appointment and the complexity of your case. A first consultation is typically longer than a follow-up. Your doctor will explain the fee for each appointment before you book, and you can request a current fee schedule through the Mojo Klinik website.

Medicare Rebates

Medicare rebates may apply to part of the consultation where you hold a valid referral and meet the requirements. Services Australia sets out how Medicare rebates work. The rebate does not cover the full fee. You will have an out-of-pocket gap. The size of that gap depends on the length of the appointment and whether you have reached the Medicare Safety Net threshold.

What Is Not Included

Pathology tests are billed separately. Some tests are covered by Medicare. Others are not. Your doctor will tell you which tests are recommended, what they cost and whether a Medicare rebate applies before anything is ordered. There are no hidden fees.

A Simple Way to Think About It

Think of it like servicing a car. A standard service checks the basics and keeps you on the road. A diagnostic service goes deeper when something is not running right. It costs more because it takes longer and looks further. The question is not whether it is worth it. The question is whether you have been getting the answers you need from the standard service.

Pro TipAsk what the appointment fee is, and which tests are recommended. Getting this information before the day removes the main source of surprise.

Why We Do Not Quote a Single Figure

The fee depends on your situation. A patient with a long history and several symptoms may need a longer first appointment than someone with a single, recent concern. Quoting one number would be misleading. What we can promise is this: you will know the fee before you book, and you will know the cost of any recommended tests before they are ordered.

How Integrative Medicine Works in Parallel with Your GP

Integrative medicine works alongside your GP, not in place of them. We work in parallel with your GP, and you stay in charge of who sees what.

In practice, that means you keep your regular GP for screening, vaccinations, prescriptions and acute problems. We handle the deeper investigation into symptoms that have not been explained. Where a result needs standard medical management, we will tell you plainly and point you back to your GP.

Watch OutDo not stop or change any prescribed medicine because of something you read or because a test result looked different. Any change to prescribed treatment is a conversation with the prescriber.

Telehealth Consultations: Who They Suit and Who They Do Not

Telehealth consultations suit review appointments, results discussions and follow-up planning. They do not suit a first visit where a physical examination is needed, and they do not suit anyone who needs tests ordered on the day.

If you travel for work, a mix often works well: come in for the first appointment, then use telehealth for follow-ups. If you are unsure which applies to you, ask when you book and we will tell you honestly.

Appointment type	Suits	Does not suit
First appointment in person	Full history, examination, test planning	People unable to attend the clinic
Follow-up in person	Results review with examination	Routine check-ins
Telehealth follow-up	Results discussion, plan adjustments	First visits, physical examination

You have been told your results are normal, and you still do not feel well. That is a real problem, and it deserves more than another ten minute appointment. At Mojo Klinik, our AHPRA-registered doctors offer longer appointments, functional pathology that goes beyond standard panels, and a plan built around your history rather than a single number. We work in parallel with your GP, never instead. Get started with Mojo Klinik and take the first step toward understanding what is actually driving your symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring to my first integrative medicine consultation?

Bring any recent blood tests, scan reports, and a list of medicines or supplements you take. A simple written timeline of when your symptoms started, what makes them better or worse, and what you have already tried helps your doctor see the full picture. If you have seen several practitioners, a short summary of those visits saves time. You do not need to prepare anything medical. Your doctor will guide the consultation and explain what comes next.

How does functional medicine for chronic fatigue in Sydney differ from a standard GP visit?

A standard appointment often focuses on ruling out common causes with routine tests. Functional medicine for chronic fatigue in Sydney takes a longer view. Appointments run longer so your doctor can explore sleep, stress, gut health, hormonal balance, and past infections together. Testing may go beyond standard panels to look at areas routine bloodwork does not cover. The aim is to find drivers of fatigue rather than label it. Your GP remains central to your care, and we work in parallel with them.

Can I do my integrative medicine consultation by telehealth?

Many consultations can be done by video, which suits people who travel for work or live outside the city. Your first appointment is often better in person so your doctor can examine you and take a full history. Follow-up appointments and results reviews usually work well remotely. Your practitioner will tell you which visits need to be face to face and which can be done from home.

Is a Medicare rebate available for these consultations?

Medicare rebates apply to some standard GP services. Some private health funds may partly cover consultations or testing depending on your policy and level of cover. Check with your fund before you book. We are upfront about fees before your appointment so there are no surprises. Contact the clinic for current pricing and what is included.
