Appointments
All new patients begin with an initial 20-minute telehealth nurse appointment, followed by a comprehensive 40-minute medical appointment.
You do not need to choose a separate appointment for menopause, weight management or preventive health. Simply tell me what you would most like help with, and we will begin there. All appointments are conducted in person or by secure video telehealth and are available Australia-wide.

Before Your Initial Appointment
You will be asked to complete detailed health questionnaires and provide information about your main concerns, medical history, medications and goals.
Please email relevant results and reports at least three business days before your initial nurse appointment.
You do not need to organise extensive testing beforehand. Further investigations will be recommended when they address a relevant clinical question or are likely to influence your care.
Very extensive records, late submissions or requests for detailed report preparation may require additional review time or another appointment.

A summary of your priorities and next steps
Prescriptions where clinically appropriate
Pathology or imaging requests
Lifestyle and treatment recommendations
Relevant educational resources
Referral recommendations
Advice about monitoring and follow-up
Treatment, prescriptions and investigations are not guaranteed and will only be provided when clinically appropriate.
