Women’s Health GP Malvern
Women's bodies are unique with specific needs: we assess and provide care that remembers this.
Personalised Care for Women
As a woman, you deserve care that is personalised to your body. A one-size-fits-all approach does not cater for the different needs and goals every woman has.
At Chadstone Road Clinic, we are passionate about taking a holistic approach, addressing the many aspects of a woman's health journey.
The team is committed to providing well-rounded, high-quality services and personalised advice that supports optimal quality of life throughout each stage.
We provide a welcoming, non-judgmental environment to help you feel comfortable and supported. For a women's health GP in Malvern East to discuss your concerns or preventive care, please contact us to organise an initial consultation.
Medical Care With a Focus on Women's Health
When it comes to health, there can be overlaps with your needs, which is why holistic care that looks at the whole you is so important. We aim to assess and support a broad array of symptoms, concerns, injuries, conditions, and target outcomes.
Many women prefer to receive care from female clinicians, and we completely understand, offering many opportunities for you to see GPs who have a special interest in women's health.
Physical Well-Being
We encourage regular health check-ups, even if you are not experiencing a particular issue. Identifying risk factors and incorporating preventative care into your health care may be vital to maintain a productive and happy life you love.
Alongside addressing injuries, health conditions, and illnesses, regular screenings that may be relevant to you include assessing factors such as your cardiovascular, bone, and bowel health.
Sexual and Reproductive Health
We can provide support during every stage of your life. Routine checks such as cervical screening are crucial to monitor for signs of cancer or disease. We can provide assessment, screenings, management, and management, as well as discuss with you the best way to self-monitor.
Our GPs can also support you with aspects such as contraceptive counselling, STI screenings, unplanned pregnancy support, fertility advice, pregnancy care, balanced nutrition for reproductive health, and lifestyle advice.
Breast Screening
Regular breast screening aims to detect changes early, often before symptoms develop. Our GPs can discuss your individual risk factors, provide clinical breast examinations, arrange appropriate screening or referrals where needed, and support you with breast health awareness and self-monitoring.
Menopause Management
Every woman experiences menopause differently, and it can occur at varying ages. Symptoms may be mild, such as mild mood changes or hot flushes, or more significant changes that may benefit from medical treatment.
The risk of certain diseases and health issues may also increase after menopause. We recommend discussing any changes that may indicate menopause with your GP, or if you have any questions or concerns.
Mental Health Support
Mental and physical health often go hand in hand. By addressing concerns pertaining to mental health, we may also be able to support your overall well-being. We provide comprehensive mental health support and can provide referrals to specialists if needed.
Allied Services
Our allied health professionals aim to support your concerns, requirements, and goals. We can provide guidance and recommendations if we believe you may benefit from seeing someone in such fields as speech pathology, physiotherapy, psychology, occupational therapy, dietetics, or social work.
The Potential Benefits of Health Check-ups
Many health conditions and risk factors can affect women differently than men, so it is important to receive assessments and care that keeps this in mind. Regular care may be pivotal to your quality of life.
From early disease detection and education to managing health conditions and providing referrals, health check-ups with a trusted GP may have life-altering benefits.

Women's Health Care FAQs
Do I need to see my GP to see other health professionals?
Most medical, surgical, and mental health services require referrals from GPs. Diagnostic tests such as blood tests, ultrasounds, and X-rays also need a referral.
Most allied health services, such as physiotherapy and speech therapy, do not require a referral. However, a GP can create a Chronic Disease Management Plan for eligible patients that may provide Medicare rebates for some allied services.
Who are your typical clients?
We welcome people of all ages, including everyone who identifies as a woman. We are here to support you with compassionate and comprehensive care.
Can I change GPs within the clinic?
Absolutely. We understand that you may not click with the first doctor you see, or they may recommend someone better suited to your needs. Please feel comfortable to book with a different doctor next time you visit.
How often should I have a women’s health check-up?
The recommended frequency depends on your age, medical history, family history, and individual health needs. Even if you feel well, regular check-ups may help identify potential health concerns early and keep preventative screenings up to date. Your GP can recommend a schedule that's appropriate for you.
Can I book a women’s health check-up if I don’t have any symptoms?
Yes, you can. Regular women's health check-ups are an important part of preventative care. They provide an opportunity to discuss your overall health, review any recommended screenings, assess your risk factors, and address any questions or concerns before they potentially become more significant.
What should I bring to my appointment?
If relevant, please bring any referral letters, recent test results, a list of your current medications, and details of any symptoms or concerns you would like to discuss. This information may help your GP gain a clear understanding of your health and provide the most appropriate care.
Can I discuss more than one concern during an appointment?
Yes. You're welcome to discuss multiple health concerns during your appointment. If you have several issues or require a more in-depth consultation, we recommend booking a longer appointment to ensure your GP has enough time to address each concern thoroughly.
