Cervical Screening
Cervical screening is recommended for all women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 74, every five years. It is one of the most effective ways to detect early changes in the cervix before they develop into something more serious.
Our GPs can perform your cervical screening in a comfortable and private setting. If you are due for a screen or have never had one before, we encourage you to book an appointment at your convenience.
Contraception
Our GPs can discuss a range of contraceptive options with you to help you find an approach that suits your lifestyle, health, and personal circumstances. Contraception is a personal decision, and our team will provide balanced, non-judgmental information to support you in making an informed choice.
Options that may be discussed with your GP include the contraceptive pill, long-acting reversible contraception, and other methods. Your GP will take into account your individual health history when discussing what may be appropriate for you.
Pregnancy and Antenatal Care
If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, our GPs provide supportive antenatal care to support you and your baby throughout your pregnancy journey.
We can assist with:
- Pregnancy confirmation and early management
- Antenatal check-ups and monitoring
- Referrals to obstetricians and specialists where needed
- Postnatal care and support after birth
We recommend booking an appointment as early as possible once you know you are pregnant so we can support you from the very beginning.
Mental Health and Wellbeing
Women’s health is about more than physical health. Our GPs understand the connection between mental and physical wellbeing, and we provide compassionate, non-judgmental support for women experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, or other mental health concerns.
If you feel you need support, please speak to your GP. A Mental Health Care Plan may be prepared where appropriate, which can provide access to subsidised psychological support.
Bulk Billing for Women’s Health
Armstrong Creek Doctors is a fully bulk billing clinic. Eligible patients with a valid Medicare card will not incur any out-of-pocket cost for standard consultations, including most women’s health consultations.
Please note that some services, such as certain procedures or vaccinations, may incur a private fee. Our reception team will do their best to advise you of any applicable costs before your appointment so you know what to expect.
Your Privacy Matters
We understand that women’s health can involve sensitive and personal topics. All consultations at Armstrong Creek Doctors are strictly confidential. Our female GPs aim to create a comfortable space where you can speak openly and honestly about your health concerns.
If you have a preference for a female GP, please let our reception team know when booking and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
