We focus on preventive screening, clear explanations, shared decision-making for contraception and treatment options, and warm, confidential communication so you feel heard and supported at every visit.
GP-led women's health consultations
Longer appointments where needed for complex concerns, preventive planning, referrals and coordination with specialists when clinically appropriate.
Cervical screening and preventive care
National screening program guidance, sample collection where offered at our clinic, follow-up planning and education about results in plain language.
Contraception and family planning
Discussion of options that match your health, preferences and future pregnancy plans, including prescriptions and onward referrals when required.
Allied and mental health support
Connections to psychology, dietetics, physiotherapy and other hub services when emotional wellbeing, pain, pelvic health or lifestyle factors are part of your picture.
What Is Women's Health Care?
Women’s health care addresses physical, emotional and reproductive wellbeing across the lifespan. It includes preventive screening, management of menstrual and hormonal concerns, contraception, fertility planning, pregnancy-related primary care where appropriate, menopause support, sexual health and mental health needs that commonly affect women.
At 1st Health Hub we combine medical assessment with practical advice and respectful, trauma-informed communication. Your preferences, cultural background and privacy are central to how we plan care.
If a concern needs a specialist gynaecologist, fertility clinic or hospital service, we explain the pathway and support timely referral.

Everything you need to know before your first appointment.
Our team is happy to help. Give us a call or send us a message and we will get back to you promptly.
Do I need a referral for a women's health appointment?
You can usually book directly with a GP for most women’s health visits. Specialist gynaecology or hospital services may require a referral from your GP when needed.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring your Medicare card, photo ID, a list of medications and allergies, prior cervical screening or pregnancy records if available, and any forms from your employer or insurer.
Do you offer Pap smears and cervical screening?
Yes. We follow national cervical screening guidance and can discuss traditional Pap-style testing and current screening pathways, including self-collection where appropriate and available, so you understand your options.
Can I discuss contraception and family planning in one visit?
Yes. Contraception visits include time for questions, medical suitability checks and planning for prescriptions, implants or referrals for procedures such as IUD insertion when required.
Do you support women through menopause?
Yes. We support perimenopause and menopause symptoms with lifestyle advice, discussion of hormonal and non-hormonal therapies where appropriate, and monitoring tailored to your history and preferences.
Is mental health support part of women's health care?
Absolutely. Mental health is a routine part of women’s health. We can create mental health care plans when you are eligible, discuss medication options with your GP, and refer to our psychology team for counselling support.
What about Medicare, private fees and health insurance?
Many services qualify for Medicare rebates. Some procedures, vaccines or devices may involve out-of-pocket fees. Private health insurance may cover allied health extras. We explain likely costs before you proceed.
Can I see a GP and allied health on the same day?
Often yes, subject to availability. Same-day access can help when you need results reviewed, prescriptions updated or combined care with dietetics, psychology or physiotherapy.
