Exciting news. Return to clinic! Feb 3rd will be my first day back at Myhealth Helensvale
Thanks everyone for your patience whilst I spent quality time getting to know my precious little one. I have been fortunate enough to have been able to spend a bit more time out than I anticipated before having her to bond with her and to protect our breastfeeding journey. I think nothing can prepare you for how much having a baby changes the way you think about every part of your life and that includes the work space! I have loved every minute of being with her, even if it involves zero sleep and my body not belonging to myself anymore!
Now she has turned 1 (omg where does time go, my heart was not prepared for that!) the time is right to get a little bit of adult interaction back and return to clinic.
I will be working Tuesday and Thursday afternoons between 12 and 5 most weeks. Due to limited consult availability I have decided to continue to focus on womens health exclusively which is my passion at this stage, for any new patients please only book if your consult is regarding one of the following concerns-:
- menstrual concerns
- pelvic concerns
- fertility and infertility
- pregnancy planning
- pregnancy management/antenatal shared care
- postnatal upto 12 months post partum including breastfeeding concerns
- babies up to 12 months old
- Breast concerns
- bladder/bowel health and pelvic floor
- Vaginal health
- cervical screening
- Contraception
- weight management consultations
- menopause assessments including hormone replacement therapy if deemed appropriate (please note I do not prescribe anything not TGA approved such as compounded medications- all my treatments given are licenced and researched for safety as per current AMS guidelines).
- travel medicine consults
- acne management
Given the limited availability for consults other issues such as skin checks/surgery, mental health, general urgent illnesses such as colds and flus, child health, chronic pain concerns may be best managed with a regular GP. I may also have some capacity to manage your long term conditions which may relate to your female healthcare such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure etc and will advise you during the consult if I feel I am able to assist you with these things.
Please note as a general rule I do not prescribe schedule 8 and certain schedule 4 medications such as op**te pain medications, cannabis, benzodiazepines to new patients. I do not have capacity to provide prescriptions or assessments for ADHD medications at this time but can provide referrals if requested.
Due to recent medicare changes if you are requesting referrals for allied health such as physiotherapy, dietician, podiatry or psychologists new medicare requirements mean you will need to be registered as a patient with my medicare or nominate me as your usual GP for the next 12 months. This can be done here or at the clinic in advance of your appointment. (Note this does not prevent you seeing other doctors)

This is also the case if you are requesting telehealth appointments so we can allocate the appropriate rebate. If you are not registered and the telehealth consult is longer there may be a bigger gap incurred as we can only allocate the higher rebate for your consult if you are a registered patient.
I can't wait to see you all back in the clinic soon! Any questions reception can assist. Bookings should go live soon.
