All Victorian women and girls now have access to a virtual women’s health clinic, which offers free, expert medical advice, treatment and care for a range of women’s health needs.

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.

The virtual clinic is operated by the Victorian Government in partnership with community health organisation EACH, and aims to reduce the barriers and delays in accessing care, helping to avoid detrimental impacts on a woman’s health, 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 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.

The virtual women’s clinic is available Monday to Friday from 9:00am-5:00pm, by calling 1300 003 224 or via a simple, secure online form on the EACH website: each.com.au/services/virtual-womens-health-clinic.
