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*, but the consultation fee is 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, and
• A specialised menopause service when and wherever you need it

* Our doctors are GP’s. Currently, to claim Medicare telehealth rebates the service must be provided by a non-GP specialist (eg. a gynaecologist or endocrinologist) after referral by your own GP.

A 45-minute comprehensive menopause consultation usually costs $200, which is less than the out-of-pocket costs to visit many specialists. Women outside urban areas are eligible for HALF-PRICE CONSULTATIONS by participating in our Pilot Study. You pay only $100 for the same comprehensive service, in return for completing three short surveys over 12 months.
