What to bring to your first appointment

To make your first consultation as efficient as possible, please bring:

• A valid GP referral – or send this to our rooms ahead of your appointment
• A record of your medical history, including current medications
• Results of any fertility testing you have undertaken so far
• Your Medicare card and means of payment – we accept card or cash; cheques are not accepted

If you are conceiving as a couple, we strongly encourage that both you and your partner attend this first appointment so we can investigate fertility factors on both sides. You will each need your own referral. If you are looking to conceive as an individual, you are welcome to bring a support person to your consultation.

What to expect

During your first consultation, you will get to know your fertility specialist and have the opportunity to discuss your journey so far and any specific questions or concerns.

If this is your first fertility appointment, your doctor will review your medical history, perform a physical exam, and organise some testing such as medical imaging or blood tests.
