A women’s health clinic that cares about your ongoing wellbeing.
Our general practitioners and registered nurses are specialists in women’s health. This means they are experienced in treating gender-specific conditions, such as endometriosis and menopause, and they hold medical qualifications in women’s health.
Our team of doctors and nurses create a safe, family-friendly, secure environment where you will be listened to. We believe in letting you lead the discussion and fitting a treatment plan to you.
Luma Medical is a community-minded clinic.
We know that medical plays only one part in your overall health and wellbeing. We can connect and refer you with the other services that suit your unique health journey.
You can also easily access Luma’s other services within the same building as our medical clinic. This includes counselling, dietitian sessions, support groups, mental health programs and more.
If you are based north, we also operate from our women’s health general practice clinic: Luma Medical, Joondalup.
Go beyond necessity and let us help you reach better health outcomes.
We proudly demonstrate our commitment to top-quality care with our accreditation from the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (2024-2027). This respected industry standard guarantees that we provide the best care to every patient.
