Iron Infusion Clinic

Iron deficiency anaemia is commonly treated with oral iron supplements. While this works well for some people, others find that supplements do not raise their iron levels adequately.

An iron infusion delivers iron directly into the bloodstream via an intravenous (IV) drip, allowing for faster and more efficient absorption. The procedure takes approximately one hour.

Benefits of iron infusion include:

  • Rapid improvement in iron levels.
  • Increased energy and reduced symptoms.

Before booking an iron infusion, you must have a consultation with a GP to assess suitability.

  • Please book a 30-minute appointment for your initial consultation.
  • If you have previously received an iron infusion at the clinic, a 15-minute appointment is sufficient.
Iron Infusion Procedure $200 + Doctor Fee

Aclasta Infusion Clinic

Aclasta infusion is an effective treatment option for osteoporosis.

This intravenous treatment is easily administered and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.

Key benefits of Aclasta infusion include:

  • Works for at least 12 months, meaning only one treatment per year is required at the Centre.
  • Helps strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk.
  • A safe treatment with rare side effects.

Before booking your Aclasta infusion at the Centre, you will need a referral and prescription from your current Rheumatologist or Endocrinologist.

Skin Checks

A skin cancer check assesses your skin cancer risk and indicates any current skin problems of concern.

Skin cancer checks include taking your medical history, including previous sun UV exposure, as well as undertaking a detailed examination of your skin. If any moles or lesions have developed or changed in size or nature recently, our doctors will assess and recommend the necessary treatment.

We recommend you see your doctor for a skin cancer check at least annually. As well as scheduling your annual assessment, you should see your doctor should you notice any of the following signs:

  • Changes in a mole size, shape or colour
  • The edges of a mole have begun to change
  • The mole starts and continues to grow
  • The mole is not a solid brown colour, but multicoloured instead

If you notice any of the above, it is advised to book an appointment immediately with your GP for an examination. Your doctor will provide you with a thorough skin check, and scan for symptoms of larger issues.
