Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What makes Well Woman GP different from a regular GP?
We offer longer, unrushed consultations that go beyond treating symptoms. Our focus is preventative health, so we take the time to understand your story, screen thoroughly, and design a personalised health plan that fits your life — not just a prescription pad.
Do I need a referral to book an appointment?
No referral is needed. You can book your initial consultation directly through our website.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
Expect an hour of ‘me time’. Your doctor will go through your medical history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and health goals. We’ll conduct a full health assessment including cancer screening, mental health, hormonal and cardiovascular checks, gut health, and more. You’ll leave with a plan tailored just for you.
Do you offer telehealth appointments?
Yes, telehealth is available for all appointment types. We offer consultations for patients Australia-wide. Medicare rebates for telehealth appointments do vary so please check this prior to booking.
How many appointments will I need?
Most patients will have:
An initial 1-hour consultation
A 40-minute follow-up to discuss results
Two short follow-ups (15–20 min) to review progress
Weight management or HRT may require longer-term follow-ups (e.g., 12–16 weeks).
Can I claim a Medicare rebate?
Yes. Medicare rebates apply for most appointments if you hold a valid Medicare card. Out-of-pocket costs vary depending on appointment type — see our Fees page or contact us for details.
Is this a bulk billing clinic?
No. We are a private billing clinic. Our fees reflect the extended consultation time and comprehensive care we provide.
Will you replace my regular GP?
No. We work alongside your regular GP. If required, we will liaise with your usual GP to ensure continuity of care.
Do you manage acute illnesses or emergencies?
No. Please call 000 or attend your nearest Emergency Department for any urgent presentation. We focus on preventative health and chronic disease risk reduction. We don’t treat acute illnesses (e.g. infections, injuries) or manage complex ongoing chronic conditions. Please continue to see your usual GP for those issues.
Do you prescribe alternative or complementary medicine?
No. We are committed to evidence-based medicine, in line with RACGP guidelines. While we support holistic wellbeing, all our medical decisions are grounded in science.
Can I access prescription skincare without a full health check?
Yes. You can book a skin-only telehealth consultation to receive a prescription for compounded skincare tailored to your skin concerns. Please email hello@wellwomangp.com.au to book this appointment.
What’s your cancellation policy?
Cancellations within 48 hours incur a 50% fee. Missed appointments are charged at 100% of the fee. We appreciate your understanding — it helps us provide dedicated time to all our patients.
Do you offer corporate health services?
Yes! We create custom health programs for female employees and offer onsite screenings, follow-ups, and workplace presentations. Contact us to discuss your organisation’s needs.
