How often should I have a cervical screening test?
Every five years if you're between 25 and 74 and your previous results were normal. The doctor will let you know if your individual history calls for something different.
Women's Health
Women's Health
Women's health covers a lot of ground, from someone in their 20s asking about contraception to a woman in her 60s working through menopause. Our doctors handle all of it, and several of them have a particular interest in this area. You can ask for a female GP if that's what you'd prefer.

Contraception and family planning
There's no single best contraception. The right one depends on your age, plans, health, and how much fuss you want. Our doctors will walk you through Implanon, Mirena and other IUDs, the pill, and other options including the pros and cons of each. Insertions and removals for Implanon and IUDs are done at the clinic.
Pregnancy and postnatal care
Through pregnancy our GPs handle the regular visits, blood tests, and any concerns that come up, working with shared care arrangements at the local hospitals. After baby arrives, we look after the postnatal checks for you both: physical recovery, mental health, breastfeeding support, and the early baby checks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What women's health services do you offer?
Cervical screening, breast health and mammography referrals, contraception including Implanon and Mirena IUD, pregnancy care, menopause, and fertility advice. Available at both the Worongary and Currumbin clinics.
Can I get an Implanon or Mirena IUD inserted here?
Yes. Several of our doctors do both. You'll have a consultation first to talk through the options and figure out which one suits you. Then we book the insertion.
Do you do pregnancy and postnatal care?
Yes. Pregnancy confirmation and routine checks, blood tests, mental health support during and after, and checkups for both mum and baby once the baby arrives. We work alongside the local hospitals for the birth itself.
What's the difference between Implanon and Mirena?
Implanon is a small hormonal rod inserted under the skin of your upper arm. It lasts up to three years. Mirena is a hormonal IUD that sits inside the uterus and lasts up to five. Both are reliable. The right one depends on your health history and what fits your life.
