Women's health GP in Carindale, who takes the time.
Seeing a women's health GP in Carindale means an appointment with time to listen and get the full picture. Bring your questions on contraception, sexual health, menopause or family planning.
A women's health GP who looks after mind and body
Women’s health isn’t only physical. Hormonal changes around periods, pregnancy, the postnatal months and menopause can all affect mood, anxiety and sleep. Many women also carry the mental load of caring for others, which can leave little time for their own health. A women’s health GP who takes the time can help you see how these pieces fit together.
At Carindale Doctors, our GPs ask about how you’re feeling as well as your physical symptoms. If you’re struggling, we can talk through options such as a mental health treatment plan with Medicare-subsidised psychology sessions, alongside treatment for any physical causes like low iron or thyroid problems.
In short: Carindale Doctors’ women’s health GPs inside Westfield Carindale look after both physical and emotional health, including mood changes linked to periods, pregnancy and menopause. Mental health treatment plans are available. Longer appointments can be booked, children 16 and under are bulk billed, and Medicare rebates apply where eligible.

Why we take the time in Carindale
A quick appointment can miss the connection between symptoms. Our Carindale GPs prefer to understand your whole situation, so we offer longer appointments whenever you need them.
More about our approach is on our women’s health GP page.
What women often don't mention, but should
These concerns are common, and help is available:
- Premenstrual mood changes: severe PMS or PMDD that affects relationships and work.
- Feeling flat after a baby: which can be postnatal depression rather than tiredness.
- Anxiety in perimenopause: often new or worse than before.
- Burnout: from juggling work, family and caring roles.
Talking to your GP is a good first step, and there’s no need to have the right words.
What your women's health GP visit can include
Your visit can include:
- A conversation about physical and emotional health
- Screening questions for mood and anxiety
- Blood tests for physical causes
- A mental health treatment plan if appropriate
- Referral to a psychologist
- Follow-up to check how you're going
A mental health treatment plan usually needs a longer appointment.
