From childhood sniffles to managing ongoing health needs, we're here for every stage of your journey. Our doctors take the time to listen, understand your story, and work alongside you to keep you well.

Our skin checks provide a thorough, unhurried assessment of your skin, with a focus on early detection and prevention. Appointments are performed by experienced GPs using dermoscopy to assess moles and skin lesions, and to identify signs of skin cancer or other concerning changes.

We take the time to review your personal and family history, sun exposure, and any specific spots of concern. Where needed, we can arrange monitoring, biopsy, or treatment, and coordinate follow-up care.

If now is not the time for you to be adding to or starting your family, we offer comprehensive advice on contraception. Together we can find a contraceptive method that works for you. We perform insertion of the contraceptive rod (Implanon) and hormonal IUD’s (Mirena/Kyleena). We can also advise on emergency contraception and are accredited providers of Medical Termination of Pregnancy.

Women planning to give birth at The Wollongong Hospital (public) may choose the Shared Care model for their antenatal care.

With shared care, the majority of your pregnancy appointments are with your GP, with a smaller number of visits at the hospital antenatal clinic. This model supports continuity of care, allowing you to be cared for by a GP who understands your medical history, values, and family context — and who can continue to support you and your family well beyond the six-week post-partum period.

The early months of parenthood can come with a lot of questions. Our Embrace Signature Consult gives you dedicated time to slow down, work through what’s happening and make a plan that works for you and your family.

These one-hour appointments can be used for a deep dive into:

• Feeding challenges, including tongue tie assessment
• Baby and toddler sleep
• Perinatal mental health and wellbeing
• A combination of concerns
• Or simply all those questions you've been saving up!

We’ll focus on what matters most to you, take the time to understand the bigger picture, and develop practical, individualised strategies.

A range of follow-up packages are available depending on your needs, so you can continue to receive support beyond your initial appointment.

Sometimes you don't need a full consultation—you just need a quick check-in, some reassurance, or the opportunity to ask a few questions.

Our weekly Drop-In Breastfeeding Support Clinic is a relaxed, welcoming space where you can come as you are. Whether you're wondering if your baby's feeding is normal, experiencing a minor feeding niggle, or looking for some encouragement, we're here to help.

This clinic is ideal for:

• Minor breastfeeding or bottle-feeding concerns
• Checking that feeding is on the right track
• Questions about positioning or attachment
• General infant feeding advice
• Reassurance and support from an experienced GP and IBCLC
  

You're welcome to book your place online or simply drop in on the day.

Is this clinic right for me? Our Drop-In Clinic is designed for straightforward feeding concerns and brief advice.

If your baby has significant feeding difficulties, poor weight gain, suspected tongue tie, or you feel you need a more comprehensive assessment, we recommend booking a Perinatal Signature Consult instead. These one-hour appointments allow time for a thorough assessment, including a feeding review, weight check, screening for medical contributors, and tongue tie assessment where appropriate.

If you're unsure which appointment is right for you, don't worry—we're happy to help guide you to the service that best meets your family's needs.
