Frequently Asked Questions

1What services does Winnett Specialist Group provide?
Winnett Specialist Group offers multidisciplinary weight-loss care, all in one place in Melbourne. Depending on your needs, this can include medical weight management, nutrition support with a dietitian, exercise and lifestyle coaching, and surgical assessment with a bariatric surgeon.
2Do I need to see every specialist at Winnett Specialist Group?
Not everyone needs every clinician. Your plan is tailored to you, so you’ll only see the specialists that match your goals and health needs. The benefit of our weight loss clinic in Melbourne is that the right experts are already in one place and work together to ensure your care remains consistent.
3Does Winnett Specialist Group prescribe weight-loss medications?
Yes. Our Melbourne clinic can prescribe weight-loss medications for appropriately selected patients as part of a structured medical weight management plan. However, medication is not a ‘quick fix’; it’s usually combined with clinical monitoring plus nutrition and lifestyle support from the team, so it’s safer, more effective, and easier to maintain results long term.
4How do I know if weight-loss surgery or medications are right for me?
The right option depends on your health history, current weight and medical conditions, and what feels realistic and sustainable for you. If you book an appointment at our weight-loss clinic in Melbourne, we’ll take the time to understand your goals, review your medical history, and talk through the pros and cons of each pathway.
5Do you offer long-term care after weight-loss surgery and/or medications?
Yes. We provide ongoing follow-up and support to help you maintain results long term. Depending on your plan, aftercare can include regular reviews, nutrition guidance, lifestyle coaching, and continued medical support.
