Access to this service
Women with gynaecological conditions requiring specialist review must be referred to the clinic by their General Practitioner (GP).
Referrals should be sent to the Head of Unit for Gynaecology at Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s at Sunshine Hospital. Referrals must include adequate clinical details and any relevant investigations. Incomplete referrals will be returned to the GP.
All referrals are reviewed under the direction of the Head of Unit for Gynaecology and appointments are allocated according to clinical need. Once assessed by our clinicians, gynaecology appointments will be allocated to either Bacchus Marsh Hospital or Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s at Sunshine Hospital.
