Eligibility assessment
Weight-loss eligibility assessment for clinician-led care
A safer starting point for weight-loss support: answer a few screening questions, share relevant health context, and move toward a clinician-led consult if appropriate.
Most programs ask what you want to lose. We start with what is clinically appropriate.
The eligibility review is built for people who want medical structure without being promised a prescription or a specific result.
Structured screening first
Your answers help identify whether a clinician-led weight-loss consult may be suitable before you spend time on the wrong option.
Clinical suitability matters
Health history, current medication, lifestyle context, and safety considerations are reviewed before treatment options are discussed.
Clear next steps
If your screening indicates a possible fit, Varney guides you toward the next consult step with realistic expectations.
A simple bridge from guessing to clinical review.
The eligibility check is not a diagnosis, prescription pathway or guarantee of treatment. It helps organise information for a registered practitioner to review.
Complete the eligibility questions
Share goals, prior attempts, health context, and any factors that may affect suitability for medically supervised support.
Move to clinician-led review
A clinician considers whether medically supervised care may be appropriate and what information is needed next.
Understand your options
If appropriate, you can discuss support, follow-up, and treatment considerations without any promise of a prescription.
The check is a screening step, not a diagnosis
A short eligibility flow can organise the right information, but suitability still depends on clinician review of history, current medicines, contraindications, goals and safety context.
The eligibility check does not diagnose or prescribe.
Medical history and current medicines can change what is appropriate.
A clinician decides whether options should be discussed privately after assessment.
