We want every patient to feel informed, comfortable, and confident in their care. Here you’ll find helpful details about what to expect before your appointment, how to prepare, fees and billing, referral requirements, and more. Our goal is to make your experience as smooth as possible.
Yes, a referral from your GP is required to make an appointment with Dr Davie. You can ask your GP or specialist for a referral, and provide them with our practice contact details found on this website.
Please bring the following to your first appointment:
• Your Medicare card
• Private health insurance details (if applicable)
• Payment method (most cards accepted)
• Any relevant imaging or blood test results
• Details or reports from any previous surgeries or treatments
Bringing this information helps ensure your consultation is as thorough and efficient as possible.
A portion of your consultation fee is covered by Medicare, but there will be an out-of-pocket cost. Private health insurance does not cover outpatient appointments or minor procedures performed in the clinic.
If you require a procedure in hospital (in theatre), this is typically covered by your private health insurance- though any out-of-pocket expenses will depend on your individual policy and level of cover.
Initial consultations are 1 hour in duration to allow plenty of time to discuss your concerns thoroughly. Follow-up consultations are typically 30 minutes.
If you feel you may need more time, you're welcome to let us know when booking.
It’s very common for gynaecological issues to be complex or interconnected, and not always resolved in a single visit. That’s why we allow up to 1 hour for initial consultations—to give you the time and space to discuss all your concerns thoroughly.
If you feel you may need even more time, a longer appointment can be arranged. While we aim to provide effective initial treatment or solutions during your first visit, some conditions—particularly chronic or complex ones—may require ongoing care. In these cases, follow-up appointments are important to monitor your progress and adjust your management plan as needed.
Dr Davie currently operates at Mater Private Hospital and Greenslopes Private Hospital.
Most first consultations will include a gynaecological examination. This will be explained to you throughout the consult, and we’ll ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and fully consenting at every step.
A standard examination typically involves checking your abdomen, followed by a pelvic examination. This may include a vaginal examination with or without the use of a speculum. Depending on your symptoms or condition, a more detailed examination using a microscope (colposcope) may be required to take a closer look at the cervix, vagina or vulva.
In some cases, a minor procedure - such as a biopsy of the vulva, vagina, cervix, or uterine cavity - might be recommended. These procedures are always performed with simple oral pain relief and local anaesthetic to ensure your comfort.
You’ll be given time to ask questions, and everything will be clearly explained before we begin. Your comfort, consent, and dignity are always our top priorities.
It’s completely normal to feel nervous before a gynaecological appointment - many women do. My aim is to create a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where you feel heard and at ease. You’re always welcome to ask questions, take your time, and share any concerns.
Your comfort is a priority, and nothing is ever rushed. You’re in control of your care, and we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you. If you're feeling particularly anxious, you’re welcome to bring a support person or request extra time to talk things through before the examination.
