Men's Health Consultations
What it is
Confidential men's health consultations with an endorsed nurse practitioner from Nurse Practitioner Clinics Australia (NPCA), by secure telehealth anywhere in Australia. Time, distance and embarrassment all get in the way of having things looked at; a telehealth consultation removes most of that.
Your nurse practitioner can assess a wide range of men's health concerns, request pathology tests, and explain what a nurse practitioner can and cannot do for your situation. Where a GP or specialist is the right person to see, they will refer you.
Who it's for
A men's health consultation may suit you if you have:
- General health concerns you would like to talk through with a health professional
- Concerns about energy, mood or general wellbeing
- Concerns about hair thinning or hair loss
- Sexual health concerns
- An interest in a general health check-up or preventive screening
- Difficulty finding time to visit a GP in person

Frequently asked questions
Is the consultation really private?
Yes. Consultations run on a secure, encrypted platform. Your health information is treated with the same confidentiality as any in-person consultation and is protected under Australian privacy law.
What can a nurse practitioner do for men's health concerns?
They can assess your concerns and request pathology tests, taking your individual health history into account, and explain what falls inside a nurse practitioner's scope of practice and what does not. Where specialist care is the right next step, they can write the referral.
What if I need to see a specialist?
If your nurse practitioner decides specialist care is needed they can write the referral, explain the next steps, and continue your ongoing primary care by telehealth.
Will I need blood tests?
Your nurse practitioner may request pathology as part of your assessment. Collection is available at any collection centre in Australia, including Pharmacy 777 Perth City at 731 Hay Street Mall.
