No. WellFemme’s menopause specialists are GP’s with a passion for helping women in midlife. They devote a large proportion of their practice to this area, gaining additional experience and skills along the way. WellFemme clients therefore benefit from both their specialised knowledge and their accessibility… no referral required!

In most cases the answer is overwhelming YES. Our WellFemme menopause specialists are GP’s too, with additional training and experience in dealing with menopause-related issues. If you can visit a great GP who is confident in managing your menopausal symptoms then that is the very best solution. Unfortunately, not all women have a regular GP or can easily travel to visit one, or have a GP who is comfortable treating menopausal symptoms; helping these women is what WellFemme is all about.

No; presently Medicare will only fund Telehealth appointments with your usual GP or practice. If you live in a COVID-19 “hot spot” you may be eligible for rebates however; please use the “Contact WellFemme” button on our homepage to enquire about this.

WellFemme’s comprehensive consultations are good value for money compared to the out-of-pocket costs for many specialist visits. The fee covers services including:

• An extensive medical and lifestyle history;
• Assessment of peri/menopause related symptoms;
• Discussion of medical treatment options;
• Prescriptions if needed;
• Pathology/ radiology referrals as needed, and
• A comprehensive written report for clients to discuss with their GP.

Consultation fees are also offset by other savings in time and money:

• No travel requirement (which could be hundreds of kilometres in some cases);
• No GP appointment to obtain a referral;
• No ongoing costs for expensive, unproven treatments, and
• A specialised menopause service when and wherever you need it.

We offer several types of service levels, with discounts available for some clients; click here for details. If you’re not sure whether a Telehealth consultation is right for you then you can book a free trial consultation beforehand.
