What your GP wants you to know this Women’s Health Week 

At Grace Private, we don’t see healthcare as a one-size-fits-all solution. As a woman, your health needs change throughout different stages of life, from your first period through to pregnancy, motherhood, perimenopause and menopause. Having a doctor who understands those changes can make a big difference to your health and well-being.

Our Gold Coast Women’s Health GPs provide comprehensive care for women of all ages, offering everything from fertility and pregnancy support to menopause management, contraception, pelvic pain and hormonal health. And you don’t need a referral to book an appointment.

What does a Women’s Health GP do?

A Women’s Health GP is a doctor with a special interest in the unique health concerns women experience throughout life. While they provide many of the same services as a general GP, they also have advanced experience in areas such as:

  • Fertility and preconception care
  • Antenatal and postnatal care
  • Contraception and Mirena insertion
  • Heavy periods and menstrual concerns
  • Pelvic pain
  • Perimenopause and menopause
  • Hormonal health
  • Adolescent women’s health

For many of our patients, seeing a Women’s Health GP means having access to more specialised care without needing to immediately see a specialist.

Women’s healthcare in every stage of life

A teenager may need support for painful periods or contraception. A woman in her 30s may be planning a pregnancy or navigating fertility challenges. A new mother may need postnatal care and support. Women in their 40s and 50s may be experiencing symptoms associated with perimenopause or menopause. At Grace Private, our Women’s Health GPs support women through all of these stages and more.

Because they understand how hormonal changes, reproductive health and overall well-being are connected, our doctors can help identify underlying causes of symptoms and develop treatment plans tailored to individual needs.
