Antenatal care
The first antenatal visit usually occurs between 6 and 12 weeks gestation. You can expect this visit to take up to 30 minutes. A thorough medical history and examination will be performed. If not already done, a dating scan will be done.
Postnatal care
We can care for you and your baby after. At Proserpine Medical Centre we believe care does not finish here and we can provide a patient care plan including when all key vaccinations are due, etc. If you have any further questions please speak to one of our friendly nurses or Dr. Joice on your next visit.

This is a procedure of cervical screening used to detect potentially abnormal cells in the cervix. It is currently recommend every 2 years (unless otherwise stated). To book an appointment for this test please speak to one our friend Nurses or Reception staff.
