July 22nd, 2025Virtual women’s clinic opens

A virtual women’s health clinic is now open to all Victorian women and girls of any age – offering free, expert medical advice, treatment and care for a range of women’s health needs.
For women and girls in Macedon, the new virtual clinic will mean that they can access the vital health services they need from the comfort of their own home.
Led by specialist nurses, the clinic can provide medical advice remotely via telehealth, either online or on the phone – including endometriosis and pelvic pain care, menstrual health, cervical screening, menopause care, breast health care and abortion.
Women in regional and remote Victoria will benefit the most – with services like contraception and abortion traditionally harder to access due to distance from major towns. The virtual clinic will make a massive difference for women in Macedon, cutting transport time and travel costs when it comes to accessing healthcare.
Operated in partnership with community health organisation EACH, it will reduce the barriers and delays in accessing care, helping to avoid detrimental impacts on a woman’s health, their quality of life and the ability to participate in school and employment.
The team of nurses will deliver an initial health assessment and some treatment, while patients can also be connected with a GP or get referred to a relevant health practitioner as close to home as possible.
In addition to treating immediate health needs, referrals can also be made to various mental health and wellbeing, alcohol and other drugs, and family violence community support services.
