Pre-Pregnancy Counselling and Initial Fertility Management
Planning a pregnancy is an important step in your health journey. Our doctors offer pre-pregnancy consultations to review your medical history, discuss lifestyle factors, check vaccinations, and recommend any pre-conception tests or supplements.
We can also provide initial fertility advice and investigations for individuals or couples who have concerns about conceiving, with referrals to fertility specialists if required.
Shared Maternity Care
Shared care allows you to have most of your pregnancy appointments with your GP while also attending key visits at a public hospital or affiliated service. This model offers continuity of care, convenience, and a familiar support system throughout your pregnancy.
The following doctors provide this service:
IUD Insertion and Removal
An intrauterine device (IUD) is a small, T-shaped device placed in the uterus to provide long-term contraception. At Andrew Place Clinic, Dr Melanie Hemsley, Dr Lisa Mifsud, Dr Christina Illing and Dr Marita Long offer hormonal (Mirena and Kyleena) IUD insertion and removal. Your doctor will discuss the most suitable option for you, explain the procedure, and ensure you feel informed and supported throughout the process.

Implanon Insertion and Removal
The contraceptive implant (Implanon) is a small, flexible rod placed under the skin of your upper arm that provides up to three years of contraception. Our GPs can insert or remove Implanon in a quick in-clinic procedure. Before insertion, we will discuss whether it’s right for you, how it works, and what to expect.
The following doctors provide this service:
Cervical Screening
Cervical screening is recommended for women and people with a cervix aged 25–74 to help prevent cervical cancer. The test looks for HPV (human papillomavirus), the virus that causes most cervical cancers. At Andrew Place Clinic, we are able to talk you through your opinions, including self-collection for suitable patients.
Termination Counselling and Medical Abortion
Our GPs provide a safe, confidential, and supportive space to discuss all pregnancy options, including continuation, adoption, and termination. We offer counselling to help you make an informed decision that’s right for you.
