Expanded Women’s Health Clinic Offers Holistic Care for Complex Issues

The South Eastern NSW Centre for Menopause, Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain has expanded its Milton-based services to offer dedicated perimenopause and menopause treatment from Helensburgh to the Victorian border, according to COORDINARE – South Eastern NSW PHN CEO Prudence Buist. Supported by additional federal government funding, the multidisciplinary clinic at the Milton Medical Centre now operates two days a week, offering coordinated diagnostic, allied health, and specialist pathways for women experiencing often-debilitating symptoms.

Milton Medical Centre Expansion Bridges Regional Healthcare Gaps

The expanded facility operates on a structured weekly schedule, with the endometriosis clinic running on Tuesdays and the new menopause clinic opening on Mondays, according to clinic announcements. Patients have access to an on-site doctor, a nurse, and an on-site physiotherapist available on Tuesdays. Gilmore MP Fiona Phillips stated that the federal funding helps women and girls secure earlier diagnoses, better pain management, and clearer referral pathways. According to Ms Phillips, the service directly addresses historic delays, uncertainty, and a lack of regional support for those navigating perimenopause, menopause, endometriosis, and pelvic pain.

Multidisciplinary care teams collaborate directly with each patient’s regular general practitioner to ensure ongoing management remains unified. Ms Buist noted that a specialist nurse plays a central role in coordinating support and helping patients navigate a complex health system. Treatment plans connect patients with local diagnostic, allied health, and specialist services both on- and off-site, tailoring care to individual needs.

Access, Referrals, and Telehealth Options for Regional Patients

Regional accessibility is a core focus of the expansion, offering flexible attendance models based on geographic location. Appointments are available in person for individuals living within a two-hour radius of the facility, while telehealth consultations are provided for patients residing more than two hours away, according to clinic service details. The facility accepts both GP referrals and self-referrals from patients. Individuals can contact the clinic via email at [email protected] or by phone at 02 4455 5755.
