Services

Women's Health

We provide Ante-Natal Shared Care programs & Contraception Services including – Mirena & Implanon.

Shared maternity care means the care of the pregnancy is performed between the general practitioner and Flinders Medical Centre.

Some women like shared care because it means they can receive most of their maternity care from a GP who they are familiar with and who works close to their home or workplace. It also means that the same GP who has cared for you during the pregnancy can continue to care for you and your baby in the weeks and months after birth.

General Health Assessments

Mental Health Assessment 
We offer comprehensive mental health assessment and care planning with referral (if required) to appropriate services for patients of all ages. This is a medicare funded assessment.

Hearing Assessment
Early detection of hearing loss has been identified as an important factor in preventing social isolation and can lead to identification of other health concerns. Hearing loss can be linked to diabetes and smoking. We offer a bulk billed hearing test for early detection of hearing loss.

An ECG is a recording of your hearts electrical activity. We are able to record an ECG for patients who may be experiencing cardiac symptoms or have medical conditions whereby they may be at risk of developing heart disease.

Spirometry testing is used to identify potential lung disease and is used as a test to monitor the function of patients with known lung disease.
