Fertility and Preconception Care
For patients planning a pregnancy, preconception health assessments and advice are available. This includes reviewing general health, discussing lifestyle factors, ensuring vaccinations are up to date, and addressing any pre-existing conditions. Initial fertility investigations and referrals to fertility specialists can also be arranged if needed.
Pregnancy and Antenatal Care
Dr Sarah Jeffs is a fully accredited shared obstetric care provider with Peninsula Health, offering antenatal appointments throughout pregnancy and postnatal care following birth. The shared care model allows patients to receive local, personalised pregnancy care while maintaining connection with their chosen birthing hospital.
Pregnancy support counselling is also available for patients who may be feeling unsure or emotional about a current or recent pregnancy. Eligible patients may access up to three Medicare-covered counselling sessions with a qualified professional. This is a non-judgmental, supportive service where patients choose what to discuss.
Menopause and Perimenopause Support
Dr Jo Pollott, Dr Emily Aries, and Dr Sarah Jeffs provide dedicated support for patients navigating perimenopause and menopause. Understanding that this transition affects each person differently, personalised management plans are developed that may include lifestyle modifications, symptom management strategies, and discussion of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) where appropriate.
Common concerns addressed include hot flushes, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and bone health. Our doctors stay up to date with current evidence and guidelines to provide patients with balanced information to support informed decision-making about their care.
