Juniper and Pilot Australia — programme service comparison
What Juniper and Pilot say on their own pages about how the consultation works, what the programme includes and how it is cancelled. Each cell quotes the operator's sentence as printed, with the page and the date it was read. A sentence that names a medicine, states a price or claims a result is not quoted. Whether any prescription medicine is suitable is a clinical decision for an AHPRA-registered prescriber.
This page does not display prescription-medicine prices.
Quick answer
1 of 2 operators checked has a sentence we could quote on these terms. The table quotes what each operator's own pages say about the consultation, the programme and cancellation, with the page and the date it was read. Juniper's address (https://www.myjuniper.com/) redirected to hers.com.au when checked, and that site was not read. This page shows no price and names no medicine for either operator.

Safe comparison notes
- Compare programmes on the programme service, not on the medicine that may or may not be prescribed.
- Whether any prescription medicine is suitable is a clinical decision following an AHPRA-registered consultation.
- Australian regulations restrict the advertising of prescription medicines to consumers, so this page does not display medicine prices.
- A site-wide page covers every service the operator sells, not only its weight programme.
Usually included
