Areas of care

I’m a GP for everyone, with a particular passion for gender-affirming care, LGBTIQA+ health and sexual health. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

Everyday GP care

Not everything is about being queer. I’m a general practitioner and I look after people of all ages and walks of life.

Check-ups and preventive health
Coughs, colds and infections
Mental health
Skin checks
Vaccinations, including travel vaccines
Chronic conditions and medication reviews

Book a standard or long appointment for any of these.

Gender-affirming care

Support to live as yourself, at whatever pace is right for you. Whether you’re just starting to ask questions or have been on hormones for years.

Talking through your options, with no pressure
Starting or continuing gender-affirming hormones
Monitoring, blood tests and ongoing scripts
Letters and referrals for surgery, mental health or specialists
Fertility conversations before you start
Updating your name and gender on your medical records

Common questions

Do I need a referral or a diagnosis to see you?

No. You can book directly with me as you would any GP. You don’t need a psychiatric diagnosis to talk about gender-affirming care.

Can you prescribe hormones?

[Confirm with Noah: prescribing approach, e.g. informed consent model, and any age limits.] I’ll talk you through the benefits, risks and what monitoring looks like, so you can make an informed choice.

I’m under 18. Can I still come?

[Confirm with Noah: whether he sees young people for gender care, and how parents or guardians are involved.] Young people can always see a GP about their general and mental health.

What if I’m not sure about my gender?

That’s completely fine. You don’t need answers to book. Plenty of people come in just to talk things through.

LGBTIQA+ health

Healthcare that starts from understanding, not explanation. For lesbian, gay, bi, trans, intersex, queer, asexual and questioning people, and everyone in between.

Mental health care plans and support
Alcohol and other drug conversations, without judgement
Family planning, fertility and parenting pathways
Cervical, breast and prostate screening that fits your body
Chest and binding health
Support after discrimination or trauma in healthcare

Common questions

Do I have to come out to you?

Only share what you want to. I won’t assume anything about your gender, sexuality or relationships.

Can I bring my partner, friend or support person?

Absolutely. Let reception know when you book if you’d like someone with you.

Sexual health

Frank, friendly sexual health care. Regular testing, prevention and treatment, with no awkwardness and no lectures.

STI testing and treatment, including self-collected swabs
PrEP: starting, scripts and three-monthly reviews
PEP after a possible HIV exposure
Contraception, including long-acting options
HPV and hepatitis vaccinations
Contact tracing support

Common questions

How often should I get tested?

It depends on your sex life. Many people with multiple partners test every three months, often alongside PrEP reviews. I can help you work out what’s right for you.

I think I’ve been exposed to HIV. What do I do?

PEP needs to be started within 72 hours, and sooner is better. Contact the clinic straight away, or go to the Alfred Hospital Emergency Department or the Melbourne Sexual Health Centre. You can call the PEP hotline on 1800 889 887.

Is PrEP expensive?

PrEP is subsidised under the PBS for people with a Medicare card. I can explain the costs and options if you don’t have Medicare.
