Grow Medical - Highgate Hill

Formerly The Possums Clinic

We are a multi-disciplinary medical clinic offering general services as well as specialised services for parents and babies (feeds, sleep, crying); childhood behaviour, learning and developmental challenges; Lactation Consultant services ; and parent mental health.

The Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit is a specialist area in the Mater Mothers' Hospital that deals specifically with problems in early pregnancy (less than 20 weeks gestation). The most common problems are vaginal bleeding or pain. 

This is NOT an emergency service and we can only see women who are clinically stable. Women with excessive bleeding (soaking a pad every 30 - 60 mins) or pain not relieved by panadol (particularly on one side more than the other), should be directed to the Mater Adult Emergency Department.

The EPAU do not see women with excessive vomiting in pregnancy. These ladies should be directed to the Mater Adult Emergency Department. 

Access to the clinic is by appointment only. 

When the woman first arrives, she is met by an admin officer who checks her personal details. The Clinic Coordinator then meets with the lady and assesses her situation, providing education and support as needed. If required, an ultrasound is then organised and done immediately after the nurses assessment. 

After the scan, the lady again meets with the clinic nurse to discuss the results and implications. In the unfortunate diagnosis of a failed pregnancy, the nurse will discuss with the woman the diagnosis and her options for managment of same. Once the lady has decided on how to manage the pregnancy loss, she meets with the doctor if a consent is required. 

Ladies who have had a scan privately which shows a pregnancy loss, are also welcome to attend the clinic to discuss managment options. 

The Clinic nurse also discusses options for counselling with the lady in the event of a pregnancy loss. 

When the pregnancy is ongoing, the clinic nurse discusses options for Antenatal care with the woman.

Women of NESB are also welcome to come to EPAU, however we do need to be informed if an interpreter is required and given 24hrs notice to organise same.

Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit

Institute for Urban Indigenous Health - Salisbury Mums & Bubs

New Mother Service which includes help with breastfeeding, bathing, general infant care. I also offer prenatal breastfeeding/parenting education and postnatal workshops covering a variety of topics. 
Mothers can call if they are having issues or just not coping with their new baby and I will visit in their homes. I offer a quick response if a Mother is feeling overwhelmed and will see her the same day. 
I offer phone and skype consultations if I cannot attend physically due to location. I am therefore able to assist Mothers anywhere at any time if necessary.
