Understanding Your Gynaecological Health and Wellbeing
Visiting a gynaecologist may feel intimidating, but it doesn't need to – and shouldn't. At Create Health, we believe that your journey in gynaecological care should be supported with compassion and understanding. Women's health covers a wide range of issues for girls and women of all ages, from menstrual irregularities and pelvic pain to conditions like endometriosis and infertility. With women's health encompassing so many different aspects of our lives, understanding these challenges is the first step toward finding the best possible care.

At Create Health, our Mount Waverley, Berwick and East Melbourne gynaecologists are committed to empowering you with the knowledge and support you need, ensuring that you never feel alone on your journey.

Contact Us TodayYour Gynaecologist Melbourne Questions Answered
Do I need a referral to see a gynaecologist?
Yes, you will need a referral to see a gynaecologist, whether this is a specialist obstetrician or for general gynaecology. A referral from your GP will allow you to access Medicare benefits and help to streamline your appointment.
What conditions do you address?
We aim to assist patients with a full range of women's health issues such as endometriosis, fibroids, PCOS, abnormal menstrual periods, and more. This includes people with complex cases as well as general gynaecology concerns. Our team are also qualified in fertility treatments, obstetrics and pregnancy care. Our extensive experience and specialist training means we're able to provide treatment options such as advanced laparoscopic surgery (keyhole surgery), allowing for recovery with minimal discomfort.
How much does it cost to see a gynaecologist?
Every gynaecology practice charges their own fees for consultations and procedures. At Create Health, we are not a bulk billing practice and do require payment at the time of your appointment. For detailed information about our consultation costs, please contact our friendly reception team.
What can I expect during my first appointment?
During your first visit with us, your doctor will talk with you to review your medical history and overall wellbeing, discuss your concerns, and determine and outline the most appropriate treatment options for you. Your following appointments will depend on your goals, such as whether that is to fall pregnant, address painful periods, or something else. In complex cases, such as with a high-risk pregnancy, we may need to see you more frequently to ensure we provide the highest quality care through your pregnancy journey and delivery.
How can I prepare for my appointment?
To ensure your appointment goes smoothly, we recommend you bring any relevant medical documents, such as a list of current medications, to help us provide you with tailored care.
Can a gynaecologist help with contraception options?
Yes, we can. At Create Health we can provide advice on different contraceptive methods, including hormonal options, IUDs, and other methods. Our goal is to help you choose the most appropriate option for your needs based on factors including your health, lifestyle, and family planning goals.
What if I have another concern that's not related to pregnancy, fertility, and contraception?
Even if you're not planning a family now or preparing for one in the future, it's important to have a gynaecologist you can trust with all aspects of women's health. We often provide support, information, and treatment options for concerns such as PCOS, pelvic pain, bowel pain, urinary incontinence, bladder concerns, ovarian cysts, and heavy or painful periods. If you have any concerns about your reproductive health, don't hesitate to book an appointment with us for dedicated care.
Do you perform laparoscopic surgery?
Yes, if necessary we may perform laparoscopic surgery, which is minimally-invasive surgery also known as keyhole surgery. This may be exploratory surgery, in an effort to diagnose conditions such as endometriosis, to manage conditions such as ovarian cysts, or to perform procedures such as a hysterectomy. Our obstetrics and gynaecology team work with patients throughout Melbourne in an effort to achieve a wide range of goals
