Women’s Health Services | Reproductive & General Care

Women’s physical and mental health needs are broad, evolving, and unique across every life stage. The doctors consulting from Altona North Medical Hub offer a wide range of women’s health services tailored to support you throughout your journey—from adolescence to post-menopause.Whether you’re choosing contraception, planning a pregnancy, or managing menopause, your care is guided by compassion, evidence-based practice, and a deep understanding of women’s health.

Key services include:

Breast cancer checks

If you notice changes such as lumps or irregularities in breast appearance, book an appointment for an early assessment and referral for imaging if required.

Cervical cancer screening

Regular cervical screening helps detect HPV (human papillomavirus) – the leading cause of cervical cancer. It’s a simple test that can be conducted by a doctor or registered nurse.
All women/people with a cervix aged 25 to 74 must get a cervical screening (CST) every 5 years.

Confidential screening and treatment is available for common STIs including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, herpes, HIV, and syphilis.

Contraception advice

Doctors consulting from ANMH can guide you to the contraceptive option best suited to your needs. Common contraceptive methods offered at ANMH include;

Oral contraceptives (the Pill)
Implanon insertion/removal
IUD insertion/removal

IUD Insertions and Removals – Hormonal & Copper

The hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) is a small contraceptive device that is put into the uterus (womb) to prevent pregnancy. They are popular in Australia, as a long-lasting, affordable, effective, and safe form of contraception.

In Australia, two main types of IUDs are available: hormonal IUDs and copper IUDs. Hormonal IUDs, such as Mirena and Kyleena, release progestogen (a type of hormone) to prevent pregnancy. Copper IUDs, like Paragard, work by releasing copper ions that interfere with sperm and egg.

In your pre-consult, you can discuss with your GP the best IUD option for you.

Implanon Insertions and Removals

The implanon, sometimes called ‘the Rod’ is a common, long-term, reversible contraceptive method that is available in Australia. Implanon NXT is long-acting (up to 3 years), at least 99.9% effective, and can be inserted/removed by a simple procedure with a GP.

The Implanon insertion procedure is a quick and simple process that can be completed in a matter of minutes. For optimal results, the implant should be inserted during the first three days of your menstrual cycle, provided that you are not pregnant. The tiny, flexible rod will be inserted into your upper arm using local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Worst customer service ever experienced I can’t believe how rude this receptionist lady was on the phone absolutely 0 respect she should get fired!! For managers referral this phone call was on 21/01/2025. She was being aggressive on the phone when I asked her if I can come in and then she hung up in my face. I then kept trying to call back to book an appointment as this is my local clinic and I was never answered too.

My family and I have been regulars at Altona Medical Clinic for over 20 years. Generally the service is good, but over the last 12 months trying to get an appointment is woeful. Not only must you ring at 8am for an urgent appointment, you are slotted against changing Drs. I tried today at 8am to be told no appointment for 2 days. Sadly that is pushing us out the door to alternative options. Don’t even bother if your a new patient!

Terrible experience on 20/11 with the female admin staff at kidney west. She’s rude, unhelpful, and completely disorganized. Patients deserve better care and respect, especially in a medical setting.

Hanash

Never visit Dr Leon Stesin he’s playing game with ya d got no respect for you at all and the way he talks is discussing

VIRAL THAKKAR

"Can you hold for a minute " this is what you get to hear for half an hour on call. Bad experience.

The admin was rude toward the person who was on the phone to have an inquiry. The admin turned around and said the person who was on the phone was having attitude. Could the admin be more patient and listen to inquire before her negative conclusion.

I haven't been a patient since August 2023 & receive a random missed call, no message left. When I contact them they said i'd seen a doctor the day earlier, was this about payment? No, I wasn't there yesterday & why has someone accessed my patient details to call me? Reception had zero idea as to why I'd been called as there were no notes on my file. I now have serious concerns about my confidential information lodged with them. After 2 hours of awaiting a reply regarding this I have decided to post this review. Beware, as they seem to be unable to explain how or why my information was used & the person on reception seemed to not even care that this was of concern.

19 years I’ve been coming to this practice with our whole family but today is my last appointment ever. On my last visit the doctor was so lacking in interest in me and the reason I was there. Today I’ve sat for 1.5 hours in the car waiting to see doctor outside because I had a fever. After an hour I phoned to be told told I’m next and doctor running an hour behind. Multiple phone calls over next 30 mins and I am repeatedly told I’m next. I’m so sick I just want to go home and crawl into bed. This is cruel and unusual punishment. I’m giving up and going home. To prove how money hungry they are - after 1 hour 40 mins waiting in car - when I phone to say I was cancelling and going to another clinic THEN the doctor can phone me within 2 mins. Review your practices. You’re a disgrace of a clinic. You won’t ever see me again

Amelia Kirk

I also sat in car for over an hr, called clinic don't know when Dr will see you running late. I was very unwell, went to an emergency clinic to be told I had pneumonia. Used to be a good clinic been going to them for years, I must say my own dr is very good but now only works 2 days a week, to get an appointment when you are sick you have to book weeks ahead.sick today not in 3 weeks????????
