Information about our appointments
Mother and Baby Appointments
Your initial appointment will take one hour. During that time a comprehensive assessment of the needs of you and your baby will be determined, with a breastfeeding or bottle feeding assessment if necessary. We ask that you bring whatever you require to feed your baby, as well as your baby’s blue book. If the consultation relates to sleep, you will be emailed a questionnaire to complete and bring to your appointment. Additional appointments of 30-60 minutes duration may be required to meet your goals.
*When calling to book the appointment, please ensure you tell the Receptionist it is for a “Mums and Babies” appointment and you will need an hour*
Antenatal Education Appointments
These appointments are to talk you through how to get breastfeeding off to a good start; educate about normal infant sleep; give suggestions as to how to keep baby dialled down; and for second (or third etc) time mums, to help prevent any of the problems you experienced with an older child. To thoroughly explore all topics, these appointments take one hour.
*When calling to book the appointment, please ensure you tell the Receptionist it is for a “Mums and Babies” appointment and you will need an hour*
Pregnancy Appointments
Your initial appointment will be for 30 minutes. Please bring any relevant blood tests, ultrasound scans and your orange pregnancy record (if you have one). Any subsequent appointments will be 15-30 minutes in duration.
*Please note – these appointments are not available at North Adelaide
Contraception Appointments
Appointments to discuss your contraception needs can be done in 15-30 mins.
IUD and Implanon insertion and removals require a 30 minute appointment. The Practice Nurse will also be required to help.
*Please note – these appointments are not available at North Adelaide
Mental Health Consults
Depending on the complexity of the situation, 30-60 mins is best for an initial consult, especially if it is related to postnatal anxiety or depression. Usually the issues are multi-factorial and having a longer appointment allows us to evaluate both mother and baby issues.
Preparation of a GP Mental Health Care Plan needs 30 mins. In general, this is not possible to do at the first consult as we need to conduct a thorough assessment first.
Payment
Most consults will attract Medicare rebates however a gap will be charged and payable on the day of consultation. No bulk billing available for mother-baby consults. Reception staff will discuss this with you further when you make your appointment.
