What Is a Women’s Health Check in Australia?
A women’s health check in Australia is a comprehensive appointment that goes beyond a basic check-up. It’s a chance to focus entirely on you – your body, your concerns, your goals. These checks are designed to detect potential issues early, keep you feeling your best, and ensure you’re equipped with the right knowledge and support.
Depending on your age, medical history and lifestyle, a typical appointment may include:
- A general physical check-up (blood pressure, weight, heart and lung function)
- Breast health checkup and guidance on self-exams or mammograms
- Cervical screening test (if you’re due)
- Reproductive health services GP discussions – including periods, fertility and contraception
- Mental health support and wellbeing check-ins
Menopause management GP care if you’re experiencing symptoms
Why Preventive Health Checks for Women Matter
We get it – life gets busy. But preventive health checks for women can help identify issues before they become bigger problems. Whether it’s catching early signs of cervical changes or spotting the first signs of menopause, these checks give you peace of mind and control over your health.
At Florence St Family Practice, we’ll never rush you through an appointment. Our focus is on building trust, listening to your concerns, and creating a care plan that’s right for you.
Cervical Screening Test in Australia: What to Know
If you’re aged between 25 and 74 and have ever been sexually active, the cervical screening test is one of the most important things you can do for your health. It’s recommended every five years and is designed to detect the human papillomavirus (HPV) early – before it causes problems.
Our GPs perform the cervical screening test with care, sensitivity and respect. We’ll walk you through the process and make sure you feel safe and informed every step of the way.
From Reproductive Health to Menopause – We’re Here for It All
Whether you’re starting to think about having a family or navigating the ups and downs of menopause, you don’t have to go it alone. Our reproductive health services GP team offers support at every stage – from cycle tracking and contraception advice to fertility support and pre-pregnancy planning.
For those experiencing symptoms like hot flushes, mood swings, or irregular periods, our menopause management GP appointments are all about finding what works for you. You’ll receive a tailored treatment plan based on your symptoms and preferences – and we’ll check in along the way to make sure you’re feeling your best.
Mental Health Support You Can Trust
Looking after your physical health is important – but so is your mental wellbeing. Women’s mental health support from your GP can make a real difference, whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood or life transitions.
Our team creates a safe, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about how you’re feeling. We can also refer you to specialised mental health services if needed – ensuring you’re supported from all angles.
