Nurse Practitioner-led clinic supporting treatment choices and lifestyle medicine for Women's health needs.
At Jervis Bay Health Choices, we understand that every woman's health journey is unique. We genuinely want to listen to your health journey.
Our focus is on providing tailored care for women with healthcare solutions that address the specific needs of women navigating menopause and mid-life health challenges.
Appointments are offered for these health needs & more -
Perimenopause and Menopause treatment options for women of all ages (we would love to listen even if you've previously been told 'no' or that you are too old, or too young for menopause treatments)
You've been advised you have pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, deteriorating bone health (such as osteopenia/osteoporosis) or risk factors for heart disease and want to work to avoid these with minimal medications and lifestyle options.
You are struggling to get your routine screening checks completed due to lack of GP availability or would prefer see a female clinician (for example, cervical screening tests, including self-screening options for those eligible)
You just need basic contraception treatment/prescriptions/implanon or depo injections and find it hard to see your GP or prefer a female? (not including IUD's such as a Mirena)
You would like to quit smoking

What is a Nurse Practitioner?
A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a Registered Nurse with the experience, expertise and authority to diagnose and treat people of all ages with a variety of acute or chronic health conditions. NPs have completed additional university study at a Master’s degree level and are the most senior and independent clinical nurses in our health care system.
The title "Nurse Practitioner" can only be used by a person who has been endorsed by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
National standards for practice ensure that Nurse Practitioners are capable of providing high quality, patient centred care.
Did you know NP's in Australia....
Do Nurse Practitioners need to work directly under the supervision of a Doctor?
No
On 1 November 2024, the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged care removed the legislated need for collaborative arrangements between participating midwives, nurse practitioners and medical practitioners to provide Medicare Benefits Schedule services and prescribe Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme medications .
