Today is R U Ok? Day.
We’re here to remind you that this simple question can make a big difference, and even save someone’s life.
Checking in with friends, family and colleagues could be the beginning of a conversation that helps someone feel supported and less alone.
You just need to be a good listener - asking “Are you ok?” and listening with care can give someone the encouragement to talk about something they’re going through and seek professional help.
Together, let’s create a culture where it’s normal to talk about life’s ups and downs, where everyone has the space to speak freely about their emotions without shame or fear of repercussions.

Today is World Sexual Health Awareness Day
At Women’s Obstetrics and Gynaecology Specialists, we believe that sexual health is an essential part of your overall wellbeing at every stage of life. Today is a great reminder to prioritise regular check ups, have open conversations, and look to evidence-based care for prevention and treatment options.
- Sexual health includes:
- Routine cervical screening and STI testing
- Contraception tailored to your needs
- Support for menopause, fertility, and reproductive health
- Guidance on safe practices and healthy relationships
Reducing the stigma around talking about sexual health is vital to empowering us to live healthier, more confident lives and making informed choices about our bodies and our futures.
If it’s been a while since your last check up, now if the perfect time to book an appointment with your GP or one of our gynaecologists.

It’s Women’s Health Week Australia and this year’s theme is “Say Yes To You” which is the perfect reminder to pause and put your health first.
As specialists in women’s health, we see every day how powerful it is when women take time to prioritise regular check-ups, ask questions about their bodies, and make space for their wellbeing. Whether it’s a routine cervical screening, managing menopause, or pregnancy care - small steps make a big difference.
This week is all about encouraging women everywhere to listen to their bodies, seek support when needed, and know they’re not alone on the journey.
Saying yes to you means saying yes to health, confidence, and a brighter future. Because your health matters - always.

September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month - every two hours a woman is diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer in Australia.
Today we highlight the five gynaecological cancers women face - ovarian, cervical, uterine, vaginal, and vulval. Early detection of these cancers can save lives, yet many women are unaware of the symptoms.
This month we encourage you to:
- Know the signs and symptoms
- Keep up with regular gynaecological health screenings
- Prioritise your health and seek advice if something feels unusual or not quite right
You know your body best, so if you notice something out of the ordinary like abnormal bleeding, persistent bloating or pelvic pain, changes in bathroom habits, itching, lumps or sores in the vulval area, and anything else that seems different than usual seek medical advice.
This month we want to use this opportunity to remind you to have regular check ups and speak to your doctor about any concerns you may have about your gynaecological health.

Adenomyosis is a condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus (endometrium) grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. This can cause the uterus to become enlarged and lead to symptoms like heavy or painful periods, bloating, and pelvic pain.
It’s a common but often underdiagnosed condition, and while it’s not life-threatening, it can significantly affect a person’s quality of life. Treatment options range from medication to manage symptoms to surgery in more severe cases, and our doctors can discuss the best course of treatment for you.

Women’s Obstetric and Gynaecology Specialists (WOGS) was established in 1998 and pioneered group private practice in Melbourne. Our five female obstetricians and gynaecologists – Dr Jenny Dowd, Dr Khairul Mohamed-Noor, Dr Kym Jansen, Dr Renee Wong and Dr Philippa Costley – combine their expertise to provide specialist care in a warm and supportive environment.
Pregnancy care
At WOGS, we consider it a privilege to accompany families on their pregnancy journey. Our practice offers an innovative model of private obstetric. Placing our patients at the centre of care, we use our considerable experience to support them to make informed choices and achieve a safe and healthy delivery.
Patients can access one of our specialist obstetricians 24 hours a day throughout their pregnancy and up until their six-week postnatal visit. Patients will mainly see their dedicated primary obstetrician; however, they also meet all the WOGS obstetricians to ensure that they will always be cared for by someone who is familiar to them. All our obstetric patients are delivered at Frances Perry House, the private hospital co-located with us above the Royal Women's Hospital.
Gynaecology
Our highly experienced gynaecologists perform a wide range of procedures, including those relating to abnormal bleeding, painful periods and endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, fertility issues and menopause.
We also perform a range of office gynaecological procedures including cervical screening tests and insertions of intrauterine devices.
