At Narellan Medical + Skin, our experienced doctors and nurses provide compassionate, patient‑centred care focused on prevention, early detection and long-term wellbeing. As your Women’s Health GP clinic, we address all aspects of women’s health, including menopause, contraception, breast health, and mental wellbeing, taking a holistic approach to your care. Our clinic aims to create a safe space where women can receive personalised care tailored to their unique health needs.
You do not need a referral to book with a Women’s Health GP at our clinic; you can choose to see one of our GPs who has specific training or a strong interest in women’s health for more tailored advice. We provide services for all stages of life, from adolescence through menopause. Many patients appreciate building a relationship with a single GP who understands their history and can coordinate any specialist referrals when needed.
Holistic and Integrated Care
Your health involves more than just physical symptoms, so our Women’s Health GPs consider your emotional, social and family context when planning care. Narellan Medical + Skin works closely with other allied health professionals such as physiotherapists, dietitians and psychologists in the community, so you can access multidisciplinary support in one hub.
This collaborative approach is especially valuable for conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, menopause, pelvic floor issues and chronic stress, where medical treatment, nutrition, movement and mental health strategies all play a role. Many comprehensive women’s health services across Australia use similar multidisciplinary teams to create a safe, supportive space for female-orientated care, and our women’s health centre in Narellan prides itself on being a leader in this space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Women’s Health GP?
A Women’s Health GP is a general practitioner with extra training, experience or a special interest in women’s health, including periods, contraception, fertility, pregnancy, menopause, pelvic pain and mental wellbeing. They can manage most women’s health concerns in a holistic way and coordinate referrals to specialists like gynaecologists or endocrinologists when needed.
Do I need a referral to see a Women’s Health GP?
No. You do not need a referral to book an appointment with a Women’s Health GP at Narellan Medical + Skin – you can make an appointment directly, just as you would with any GP. Referrals are only required if your GP is sending you on to another specialist, such as a gynaecologist or endocrinologist, and these referrals are usually valid for 12 months for that specific health issue.
When do I need a referral to see a gynaecologist or endocrinologist?
If your Women’s Health GP feels you would benefit from specialist input (for example for complex endometriosis, fertility issues or advanced hormonal problems), they will write a referral to an appropriate gynaecologist or endocrinologist. In most cases you need this referral to claim a Medicare rebate, and referrals are medically reviewed so that urgent cases can be prioritised.
Can I see a Women’s Health GP by Telehealth?
Yes. Many women’s health concerns can be discussed safely via Telehealth, such as results, medication reviews, contraception options, period concerns, perimenopause symptoms and mental health check‑ins. Our GP team or reception team can advise if your issue is better suited to an in‑person visit (for example for an examination, procedure or certain investigations).
What women’s health issues can a GP manage, and when will I be referred on?
A Women’s Health GP can manage most routine and many complex issues, including cervical screening, contraception, PCOS, menstrual problems, perimenopause and menopause, pelvic pain assessment, mental health, pregnancy care and chronic disease prevention. You’ll usually be referred to a gynaecologist or other specialist if you need surgery, advanced procedures, complex fertility treatments or if first‑line treatments are not working as expected.
How much does it cost to see a Women’s Health GP?
Fees vary depending on appointment length and whether your visit is in‑person or by Telehealth, and Medicare rebates may apply for eligible patients. It is always best to confirm consultation costs when booking and ask whether any bulk‑billed or reduced‑fee options are available for certain appointment types or concession card holders. You can read more about our fees on our ‘About’ page.
How often should I have a women’s health check?
Most adults benefit from a regular health check with their GP to review blood pressure, weight, lifestyle risks and mental wellbeing, with the exact frequency tailored to your age and medical history. Cervical screening is generally recommended every 5 years for eligible women, and breast screening is recommended every 2 years for women in certain age groups, but your Women’s Health GP will advise what is right for you.
How do I choose the right Women’s Health GP for me?
Start by checking that the clinic location, opening hours, accessibility and transport options work for your life, then look at doctor profiles to see who has a special interest or additional training in women’s health. You can also read online reviews, use Healthdirect’s service finder to explore options, and check AHPRA’s public register to verify a GP’s registration; above all, trust your instincts and choose someone you feel comfortable with and listened to.
At Narellan Medical + Skin, we will always go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable in our environment.
