Appointments
A women’s health doctor is at the Centre on Tuesdays, 2pm – 7pm (by appointment only).
The doctor bulk bills through the Medicare Scheme. Most pathology tests are also bulk billed but you may be required to pay for some medical tests. The women’s health doctor will inform you about charges during your appointment.
women’s health doctor appointments are booked for 20 minutes: please arrive on time for your appointment. Some consultations may be complex & take longer. Please be patient if you are waiting for your appointment.
Post-natal appointments with a baby require a 40-minute appointment to enable the doctor to perform a thorough check-up of mother and baby.
Our doctor specialises in women’s health issues including pap smears, breast checks, contraception, pregnancy tests, unplanned pregnancy, screening and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, menopause management, post-natal checks, sexual health, fertility, vaginal and urinary tract infections (UTI), bladder function, menstrual (period) problems.
The doctor does not provide crisis or emergency health care and is not available for general medical issues, such as colds and flu.
