Weight Management Support at Arkaba Medical Centre Serving Adelaide
We know that weight management is about more than the number on the scale—it’s about improving your health, confidence, and quality of life. At Arkaba Medical Centre, we provide compassionate, personalised support to help you navigate this journey with confidence.
Our approach brings together medical expertise and allied-health care to give you a complete, coordinated plan. This includes:
Personalised medical assessments to understand your health profile
Nutritional counselling, exercise physiology, and behavioural support
Ongoing monitoring to adjust your plan as your needs evolve
Alongside lifestyle changes, we also offer evidence-based medical options, including GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, when clinically appropriate. These treatments can help regulate appetite, support metabolic health, and enhance weight-loss outcomes.
Whether you’re exploring lifestyle strategies, medication-assisted options, or a combination of both, our team is here to help you achieve sustainable, long-term results.

FAQs
What's included in your weight management program?
We offer a thorough approach that combines medical assessment, nutritional guidance, exercise planning, and behavioural support. Our multi-disciplinary team works together to create a personalised plan that fits your lifestyle and goals. We’re not just about the numbers on the scale—we’re focused on helping you build sustainable habits that transform your overall health.
How long does it typically take to see results?
We understand that weight management is a journey, not a sprint. Most people start noticing changes within 4-6 weeks, but we focus on steady, sustainable progress rather than quick fixes. We’ll monitor your results regularly and adjust your plan as needed, since what works for one person might need tweaking for another.
Do I need a referral from my GP to access your weight management services?
We’d recommend speaking with your GP first, as they’ll have valuable insights into your medical history. Still, we can often see you without a formal referral, depending on your situation. We serve the Adelaide community and work collaboratively with local healthcare providers to ensure you’re getting coordinated care.
What if I've tried other weight management programs before without success?
We get it—past attempts might not have worked out, and that doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. Our patient-centred approach means we’ll listen to what hasn’t worked before and tailor a strategy that suits your unique circumstances. Our team takes time to understand the barriers you’ve faced and help you overcome them.
Is your weight management program covered by private health insurance?
This depends on your individual insurance policy and the services you use. We recommend checking with your provider about coverage for dietitian consultations, medical consultations, and allied health services. Our team can help you understand what’s claimable and work with you to maximise your benefits.
