Women’s Health

While sexual health checks can feel uncomfortable, awkward or embarrassing, they are important for maintaining your health and wellbeing, and are a normal part of your GP’s job. Sexual health checks can involve tests for sexually transmitted infections (STI), as well as discussions around contraception, vaginismus, sex and porn addiction, and your rights in sexual relationships. Regular sexual health checks are recommended for all people who are (or planning to be) sexually active, but are especially important if you suspect an STI; if you’ve had unsafe sex (including vaginal, oral, and anal sex); if a condom broke or fell off during sex; if you or your partner have more than one sexual partner; if you have shared injecting equipment; or if you are beginning a new sexual relationship.

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world and so it is important to get regular skin checks for detection of any precancerous or cancerous lesions. All our doctors are qualified to conduct full skin checks from head to toe, examining any lesions of concern and discussing risk factors, family history and treatment options. Most of our doctors can do basic excision procedures, and some are qualified for more complex cases. Our services include skin biopsies, cryotherapy, non-surgical treatments, and mole removal, as well as skin cancer surgery and treatment support.
