About the Day Surgeries

The Women's Clinic only operates in day surgeries which are registered with the Health Department. It adheres to the regulations that cover guidelines for staff to patient ratios, sterilising and infection control, facility environment and maintenance, staff training and other areas, as required for all registered hospitals and day surgeries.

Bookings Same Day Bookings. One day procedures are available most days of the week. Women should have nothing to eat or drink for 6 hours prior to the procedure. Please contact our office to arrange an appointment. IUD or implanon can also be inserted on the day. On the day of the procedure you will see the doctor who performs the procedure, the anaesthetist and a nurse. You are given the option of a local (awake) or general (asleep) anaesthetic, but most women choose a general anaesthetic. There are sometimes waiting periods on the day of procedure. Every effort is made to minimize this time. We do recommend that you allow 3 - 5 hours to be at the clinic from arrival to discharge. All women are required to stay in the recovery room after the procedure if they have had anaesthetic of any type and are expected to be discharged into the care of a responsible person or escorted to a taxi. We strongly recommend that you do not travel on public transport after your procedure. Prior to discharge, a member of the nursing staff will discuss post-operative instructions with you. You will then have 24 hour phone access to the Procedural Doctor after your procedure.Printed instructions are given to you. If you would like to return to the Women's Clinic for further counselling after your procedure please contact us for an appointment.
