Women's healthcare that grows with you, from your first period through motherhood, midlife and beyond.
Women's health rarely arrives one issue at a time. A conversation about contraception can end up being a conversation about mood, sleep, and the pill you've been on for a decade. A cervical screen turns into a chat about the perimenopausal symptoms you weren't sure counted as symptoms. Pregnancy raises questions your friends can partially answer and Google mostly can't.
Aurora Women & Babies Health is our women's health team within SMSG. GPs, Specialists & Allied Health make up the group, and they look after women, girls and their babies across every life stage. Some of us have particular interests in fertility and preconception counselling. Some spend most of the week on antenatal shared care. Others work with new mothers on breastfeeding, sleep, and the first weeks of parenting.
All of us think of women's health as connected. What happens hormonally in one decade tends to matter for the ones that follow, so we look after the whole arc rather than treating each visit as a standalone.
Seven core areas of practice, delivered across all three SMSG centres. Some are single visits; others are journeys we walk with you across months or years.
Antenatal shared care means you see your GP for most of your pregnancy appointments, and your hospital obstetric team for the specialised checks and the birth itself. Our Aurora doctors offer shared care in partnership with Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital, Canterbury Hospital, St George Hospital, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Royal Hospital for Women and The Sutherland Hospital.
Antenatal shared careCoordinated obstetric care with a visiting obstetrician working alongside our antenatal shared care pathway. Suits patients who'd prefer specialist-led pregnancy management, and shared-care journeys that benefit from additional obstetric input for higher-risk pregnancies or complex clinical questions.
Obstetrics & Pregnancy CareEverything from the oral contraceptive pill through to long-acting options. We insert and remove hormonal IUDs and contraceptive implants, and we take the time to talk through what's likely to suit your body, your relationship, and your plans for the years ahead.
IUD & Contraceptive ImplantA GP-led women's health check that bundles cervical screening in with the other age-appropriate preventive items: breast health awareness, PCOS and fertility, contraception, menopause and perimenopause support, and general preventive care.
Women's Health CheckPerimenopause and menopause deserve more than a rushed twelve minutes. We take the time to walk through symptoms, discuss the current evidence on menopausal hormone therapy, and think about your broader cardiovascular, bone and mental health. Lifestyle and mood support are available through our dietitians and psychologists. For more complex hormonal picture, our endocrinologist works alongside the Aurora team.
Menopause SupportDr Yashodha Ediriweera holds IBCLC-level training in lactation, and can help with feeding concerns, milk supply, tongue-tie referrals, and the many questions that only really appear in the first weeks of parenting.
Breastfeeding & Lactation SupportDeciding to end an early pregnancy is a personal decision, and we provide a confidential, respectful and supportive space to talk it through. Aurora GPs offer face-to-face assessment, prescribing and review consultations for medical termination up to nine weeks' gestation. No referral required.
Medical Termination of PregnancyAdditional doctors offer specific procedures, including contraceptive implant insertion and removal. Ask reception or check the relevant service page for availability.

If your question isn't here, our reception team is a good first stop and can point you to the right doctor.
For anything within general practice, including contraception, cervical screening, antenatal shared care and menopause support, you don't need a referral. For specialist consultations with our obstetrician-gynaecologist or endocrinologist, a GP referral means you can access the Medicare rebate.
Aurora consultations are private billing across the board, with two exceptions: routine baby immunisations and general consults for babies are bulk billed.
For our general fee structure across the group, see the Fees & Billing page.

The one closest to you, unless you're seeing a specialist who only visits one location. Our obstetrician-gynaecologist and endocrinologist have set centres, so the Where Aurora operates section is a good place to check. Reception can help match you if you're not sure.
