How We Can Help

Every day over 40 Australian women undergo surgery to remove pre-cancerous or cancerous lesions from the cervix as detected on Pap smear [AIHW 2005]. The majority of these women are under 40 years of age.

The Australian Government is providing the cervical cancer vaccine free for school-aged girls.

We advise consulting a doctor about the vaccine.

Appointments

Appointments are essential.  Usually 15-minute appointments are allocated.  If you require a longer appointment, please inform the receptionist when making your booking.  In the exception of an emergency, if we are not informed that you require a longer appointment it may be necessary to make another appointment to deal with all your problems.

 We try to run on time but this is not always possible and we apologise for any delay.  We also encourage patients to ring ahead of their appointment to check the doctor’s progress, we understand your time is important. We do keep a few appointments available for urgent problems each morning and afternoon.

Please advise the receptionist if more than one person in your family needs to be seen, as more than one appointment time is usually required.

Complete medical checkups, insurance, aviation medicals, driving, pre- employment medicals and surgical procedures will always require a longer appointment.  Please advise what type of medical you need performed when booking.
