Women’s Health Clinic
We’ve opened a new Women’s Health Clinic at the Northern Hospital where local women have better access to specialists including gynaecologists as well as specialist nursing and allied health support, making it easier for women to access specialist care for conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), incontinence, perimenopause and menopause.
The clinics are part of the Allan Labor Government’s landmark $153 million women’s health package to bridge the existing gap in women’s healthcare
