About Our Women’s Health Services

In Australia, there are three recommended cancer screening programs vital to women’s health: cervical screening tests (pap smears), breast cancer screenings, and bowel cancer screenings.

At Newbay Medical Clinic, our doctors are ready to help you with all your screenings needs while creating a welcoming, safe, and comfortable environment to ensure you feel at ease throughout the entire process. These screening programs have saved countless Australians from cancer, and are essential to your ongoing health. At your next GP visit, please ask your doctor if all these preventative measures have been fulfilled.

We also offer our female patients comprehensive contraceptive services. We can help discuss and trial different methods of contraception (from the contraceptive pill to more long-acting methods such as the Implanon) to find what is most appropriate for you as an individual.
