How your patients can access and buy Fortisip®

Help your patients conveniently purchase Fortisip®, so they can more easily meet their individual daily energy or nutritional needs when their usual diet is not enough.1,2 There are multiple ways in which your patients can purchase Fortisip®, depending on their preferences and circumstances.

Is your patient receiving funding via the NDIS or a Homecare Package?

If so, they may also be able to receive funding for Fortisip® products. Encourage your patient to contact their provider to determine whether they're eligible.

Are you a dietitian, managing a patient who requires Fortisip® products?

If so, your patient can order through Nutricia At Home. This secure, user-friendly online portal makes it as easy and efficient as possible to arrange nutrition support for your patients at home. If you have questions about Nutricia At Home, call us on 1800 884 367 from 9am-5pm (AEST) Mon-Fri.

If you’re a different healthcare professional (not a dietitian) caring for your patient…

Is your patient self-funding their Fortisip® products, and comfortable buying online?

Purchasing Fortisip® through NutriciaStore is an easy and convenient option for your self-funded patient if they're happy to order online. Your patient can also place their order over the phone if they prefer, by calling our Customer Service team on 1800 691 473 from 9am-5pm (AEST) Mon-Fri.
Alternatively your patient can purchase online through a wide range of medical distributors.

Is your self-funded patient more comfortable purchasing Fortisip® in-person?

If your patient would prefer to buy Fortisip® in-store instead of online, encourage them to speak to their local pharmacy. Pharmacists can easily order Fortisip® in for your patient, so they can conveniently purchase their products in-person.

Does your patient want to try several different Fortisip® flavours to determine which are best suited to their tastes and needs?

Some medical distributors offer purchase of individual bottles of Fortisip® (rather than bulk buying a single Fortisip® product), allowing your patients to trial as much of the range as they like before committing to one (or several) flavour.

If your patient is new to Fortisip®, wants to introduce variety into their Fortisip® routine and prevent flavour fatigue, or is interested in trying some of the newer additions to the product range, this is a great place for them to start.

Direct them to Independence Australia, MedisaPQ Tasmania Healthcare Supplies and Platinum Health Supplies.
