After waiting 2 days with my phone gripped in my had for a call from my GP, I decided to try Hola Health . I waiting only 5 minutes, Dr took the time to listen to me and what I needed. Had the referral I needed to see the specialist in 10 minutes. I am ready to give up On the local clinics. Takes 17 days to get an appointment as the Drs only work 3 days. Great job.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, a specialist referral is required to see a gynaecologist in Australia. This referral can be obtained online through a web doctor consultation. Gynaecologist referrals act as a bridge between your regular general practitioner and the specialist ensuring seamless transfer of relevant health information between the doctors. A doctor’s referral is also necessary to get covered by Medicare or private insurance. Here’s why a referral is important:

  • Proper assessment: Your GP will evaluate your symptoms to determine if a gynaecologist is necessary or if another healthcare provider, such as a general practitioner or women’s health nurse, can manage your condition.
  • Better care & coordination: A referral ensures your gynaecologist has key details about your medical history, reproductive health, and any previous treatments, leading to a more focused and effective consultation.
  • Medicare rebates & cost savings: In Australia, a valid referral may be required to claim Medicare rebates, reducing your out-of-pocket expenses for specialist gynaecology services, including fertility consultations, menopause management, and reproductive health concerns.

What does a gynaecologist do? Common conditions:

Gynaecologists specialise in women’s reproductive health offering diagnosis, treatment, and preventive care for various conditions. Some common conditions that may require a gynaecologist referral include:

  • Menstrual health: Evaluation and management of irregular cycles, painful periods (dysmenorrhea), heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), or absent periods (amenorrhea) and so on
  • Fertility concerns: Support for infertility issues, preconception advice, and treatment for conditions affecting fertility, such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or blocked fallopian tubes.
  • Gynaecological disorders: Diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the female reproductive system, including fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and vaginal infections.
  • Hormonal & menopause management: Assistance with hormonal imbalances, perimenopause and menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, mood changes, and osteoporosis prevention.
  • Contraceptive advice & family planning: Guidance on birth control options, IUD insertion, contraception, hormonal implants, and other family planning methods.
  • Preventive care: Regular pap smears, HPV screenings, pelvic exams, breast health evaluations, and overall reproductive wellness checks for early detection of conditions like cervical or ovarian cancer.
  • Sexual health: Consultation and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis B and C etc.
  • Pregnancy & postnatal care: Support throughout pregnancy, postnatal care, and high-risk pregnancy management in coordination with obstetricians.
  • Surgeries: Surgical procedures such as laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, hysterectomy (uterus removal), or fibroid removal for conditions that require surgical intervention.


A doctor may refer you to a gynaecologist for further evaluation and treatment if you:

  • Are pregnant, looking for conception or have any fertility issue
  • Suffering from menstrual issues, menopause, hormonal imbalance that needs further evaluation
  • Have ovarian cysts, fibroids or at high risk for certain cancers
  • Need surgical procedures or interventions

Gynaecologist vs. Obstetrician

Gynaecologists and obstetricians are both essential specialists in women’s healthcare, but their areas of focus differ significantly. While their expertise overlaps in some cases, they each handle distinct aspects of female reproductive health.

A gynaecologist specialises in the female reproductive system, diagnosing and treating conditions such as menstrual disorders, hormonal imbalances, fertility issues, and infections. They also provide contraceptive advice, menopause management, and screenings for conditions like cervical cancer.

An obstetrician, on the other hand, focuses primarily on pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal care. They monitor the health of both the mother and baby throughout pregnancy, manage high-risk pregnancies and complications such as pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes, and assist with labour and delivery. Obstetricians also provide postnatal care to support recovery after childbirth.

Some medical professionals, known as OB/GYNs, are trained in both fields. They offer comprehensive care, from routine gynaecological exams to specialised obstetric services for pregnant women.

If you’re unsure whether you need a gynaecologist or an obstetrician, a telehealth GP can assess your symptoms and refer you to the most appropriate specialist.
