GCA Wollongong

GCA Wollongong

Gynaecology Centres Australia (GCA) has been providing first trimester pregnancy termination services since 1998. Locations of centres were chosen ultimately to improve access for women living in urban/rural areas.

Our mission is to provide safe, legal and non-judgmental pregnancy termination to women, and offer reliable and effective contraception. Our policy is to provide comprehensive, concise and unbiased information to a woman considering termination of pregnancy.

We also provide D&C for incomplete miscarriage, foetal abnormalities and non-progressing pregnancies (foetal demise or blighted ovum). Our service prevents often lengthy and emotionally traumatic admissions to hospital.

Each patient is individually assessed and counselled prior to her procedure by the doctor performing the procedure. We aim to provide a medical service synonymous to a person seeking medical treatment for any other condition. We provide ultrasound assessment for every patient prior to the procedure to ascertain gestational age, site of pregnancy and uterine abnormalities.

We also provide, at some of our centres, general women’s health care, including breast examinations, Pap smears, menopause management, sexual health, weight management, bowel screening, osteoporosis screening, fertility management, postnatal checks, Hormone Releasing Intrauterine System (IUS) and IUD insertions, Contraceptive Implant insertions and removals, Contraceptive 3 Month injections and pregnancy dating ultrasound.

We provide 24-hour phone contact for advice and management. We adhere to Australian medical standards and guidelines recommended by The Royal Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
