Weight Management
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is about more than willpower. Our evidence-based weight management program provides medical support, personalised guidance, and proven strategies for sustainable results.
A Medical Approach to Weight Management
Weight management is complex. Many factors contribute to weight gain including genetics, metabolism, hormones, medications, mental health, sleep, and lifestyle. A one-size-fits-all approach rarely works.
Our doctors take the time to understand your individual situation, identify contributing factors, and create a personalised plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.
We focus on sustainable lifestyle changes and, when appropriate, can discuss medication options that may help you achieve better results.
Health Benefits of Weight Loss
Even modest weight loss (5-10% of body weight) can significantly improve health:

About Weight Loss Medications
For some patients, prescription medications can be a helpful addition to lifestyle changes. Our doctors can discuss whether you may be a candidate for medications such as:
- GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide, liraglutide)
- Other PBS-listed weight management medications
Note: Medications are not suitable for everyone and work best alongside diet and exercise changes. Your doctor will assess your eligibility and discuss potential benefits and side effects.
