Women’s Health

The Community Health Department offers the Women’s Clinic, providing holistic health care for women of all ages.

Specialist sexual and reproductive health nurses, trained to meet the physical, social and emotional needs of well women, conduct the clinic. We offer women a confidential consultation to discuss any issues regarding their sexual and reproductive health. The Clinic also provides a comprehensive opportunity for women to access regular cervical screening tests or to learn more about breast self-examination. Women may also need to seek clarification or further information about a personal health issue for themselves or members of their family. Unplanned pregnancy support is also a part of the service and is available to all women.

Your consult is individualised and conducted in a relaxed setting. No referral is required for this service. Cost $10.
