Do you need to see a Doctor or Nurse?
The Women’s Health Clinic is staffed by female doctors and registered nurse/s. We specialise in women's reproductive and sexual health issues (listed below) for our focus communities, who we prioritise when considering eligibility for appointments.
We are currently taking appointments for Tuesdays & Wednesday mornings, only. The clinical team is also available during our free Under 25’s Drop-in Clinic every Tuesday between 3:00pm - 5:00pm during the school term.
