I recently started researching options based on clinic websites, patient feedback, and published qualifications to help people like me who need trusted, professional support for everything from regular checkups to specialised care.
While I haven’t personally tried these services yet, I’ve gone deep into the available info and reviews to compile this list, and conducted our own interviews to gain more reliable insights.
How much does a consultation with a gynecologist cost in Canberra?
A standard gynecology consultation in Canberra typically ranges from $200 to $300, with Medicare rebates available depending on the type of service and referral status.
1. Dr Huda Younis – Gaia Gynaecology
Address: Suite 2, Level 2, Equinox 1, 70 Kent Street, Deakin
Phone: 02 6162 3036
Business hours: Monday to Thursday, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm
Dr Huda Younis is the heart behind Gaia Gynaecology, a clinic founded on respect, care, and evidence-based practice. She’s a UK-trained specialist with over 20 years of experience and a reputation for empowering women through every life stage.
I was impressed by how clearly the clinic outlines its approach: inclusive, trauma-informed, and supportive of people from diverse backgrounds. Services cover menstrual and pelvic pain, menopause, PCOS, contraception, and more.
While the clinic doesn’t offer pregnancy-related services, it excels in general gynecological care. Some reviews mention a waiting period to get in, but most agree that the compassionate care is worth it.
Kind and understanding
“I have been a patient of Dr Younis for over 12 years. Dr Younis has provided excellent medical care over this time. She is kind and understanding. Dr Younis answers all my questions and explains her reasoning behind her medical advice. I would highly recommend Dr Younis to you for your medical care.”

Phone: (02) 6285 1813

- Monday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
- Tuesday to Friday, 9:00 am – 4:30 pm
Dr Omar Gailani is a specialist obstetrician and gynecologist in Canberra with over 25 years of experience, known for his thoughtful approach to women’s health.
He treats a wide range of conditions, such as endometriosis and postmenopausal bleeding, among other complex gynecological issues.
The website highlights both medical and surgical options tailored to individual needs, including second opinions and minimally invasive procedures. Patients consistently mention his thoroughness, empathy, and ability to explain complex issues clearly.
While many value the quality of care provided, some feedback notes that the practice’s admin process can be a bit slow, particularly regarding referrals and follow-ups.
Life-changing experience
“After my surgery, I no longer have to wear a pad whilst playing sport which I have had to do for the past 27 years. This has been a life-changing experience for me as I like to run 4-5 times per week. Thank you! Dr Gailani was responsive and always reachable post-surgery and I have no hesitation in recommending him.”

Phone: (02) 6285 1930
Business hours:
- Monday to Thursday, 9:00 am – 4:00 pm

Dr David O’Rourke has been a specialist obstetrician and gynecologist since 2009. He’s also a certified laparoscopic surgeon.
His practice stands out for its strong surgical expertise, particularly in minimally invasive gynecological procedures, like hysteroscopy and hysterectomy.
I found his website informative, offering a clear breakdown of conditions treated, from endometriosis and fibroids to pelvic prolapse and incontinence. The clinic is praised for its professionalism and attention to detail.
While the tone may feel more clinical than warm, reviews note that Dr O’Rourke is a great listener and communicator. This is a go-to clinic for women needing advanced surgical care.
Professional, calm, and friendly
“David is a fantastic obstetrician. Really happy with his professional, calm, and friendly manner throughout my pregnancy and birth. His team of midwives and administration team are also so friendly and welcoming. Really happy with the care of the whole team. Will definitely use David again if I have another baby.”

Highly recommended
“Highly recommend David and his team. His expertise, advice and calm manner made such a difference for me throughout my first pregnancy. He took the time to explain the options throughout to ensure I could make an informed decision. My baby and I are both doing really well and this is a credit to the care we received from David and his staff.”

4. Dr Jakub Dreher
Address: Suite 15, Calvary Clinic, 40 Mary Potter Circuit, Bruce
Phone: 61623300
Business hours: Monday to Friday, 9:30 am – 5:00 pm
Dr Jakub Dreher is a Canberra-based obstetrician and gynecologist who brings a warm, approachable style to his private practice.
He provides a wide range of services, including management for abnormal bleeding, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and gynecological surgery.
His website outlines his focus on personalised treatment plans, and this approach is echoed in reviews. Many describe him as attentive, respectful, and thorough in his explanations, which is exactly what you’d want in a gynecologist.
The clinic is relatively new, so appointment slots are often available within a reasonable timeframe, which is a plus. That said, being a solo practice, availability may tighten as his clientele grows.
Very happy and confident
“I have never felt more comfortable with a doctor as I have with Dr Dreher. He spent so much time with me, making me feel comfortable and at ease before performing any physical examinations. Surgery is booked and I feel very happy and confident to have Dr Dreher as my surgeon.”
– Janelle Darcy, Google Review
Lovely, warm, and caring
“Dr Dreher and his wife are lovely, warm, caring people. So they make a very welcoming, safe environment. An awesome team together so things run like clockwork. Dr Dreher has a calming manner which is what you need. Thank you.”

5. Global Women’s Health Canberra
Address: Calvary Specialist Clinic, Suite 4, 40 Mary Potter Circuit, Bruce
Phone: 02 6253 4037
Business hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 am – 7:00 pm
Global Women’s Health Canberra is a multidisciplinary women’s health clinic, offering a collaborative, team-based approach to care. They have a rotating team of specialists in gynecology, obstetrics, fertility, and allied health.
Their services include everything from antenatal care and contraceptive advice to surgical consultations.
What stood out to me, though, was their collaborative approach: each client’s care is often shared among multiple professionals, allowing for broader support and insights.
Many of their patients describe the doctors as thorough and compassionate, who go above and beyond to make sure that patients have a positive experience during visits.
The atmosphere is described as warm and inclusive, with an emphasis on respectful, patient-led care, though the location means parking can be tricky.
Went above and beyond
“Dr Bhathiya was my obstetrician during an anxiety filled pregnancy. He is compassionate and he listened to my concerns while providing info and options for me so I could make an informed decision. He was proactive with his management and did his best to put us at ease. He went above and beyond to make sure I had a safe and positive experience during pregnancy, delivery and even weeks after delivery. He called back on the day whenever I called due to concerns and also saw me on the day when necessary. I am forever grateful to have him as my doctor. His receptionist, Josie, was also lovely- communicates in a friendly and timely manner.”
– Cheryl Henry, Google Review
Helpful, thorough, informative, and reliable
“Both Dr Rodrigo and Dr Hannadege are both fantastic. I’ve seen Dr Rodrigo as my regular GP for years. She has been helpful, thorough, informative, and reliable.
Dr Hannadege has also been my gynaecologist for several years. He has performed an IUD (Mirena) insertion for me and supported me through an endometriosis diagnosis.
I would highly recommend this practice for any woman in the ACT.”
