Complete women's health services

From reproductive health and hormonal balance to cardiovascular wellness and bone health, women face unique medical needs throughout their lives.

At Tend, we provide comprehensive women’s health services with a strong focus on comfort, choice, and evidence-based care. Whether you need contraception advice, are planning a pregnancy, managing menopause symptoms, or simply due for a routine check-up, our experienced women's health team is here to support you.

Contraception and family planning

Contraception also known as birth control, helps prevent pregnancy. There are many different contraceptive methods, including hormonal and non-hormonal options. The right choice for you can change at different stages of your life.

Understanding your options can help you choose the contraception method that best suits your body, lifestyle and family planning goals.

Our women's health doctors and nurses across all Tend clinics provide personalised advice and a full range of options.
