Weight Management

Our Services

The doctors at Kedron Wavell Medical Centre take a holistic and compassionate approach to weight management — one that prioritises your overall health and wellbeing above all else.

Our approach is evidence-based and supportive, exploring nutrition, physical activity, behavioural strategies, underlying medical factors, and realistic goal setting. When appropriate, weight loss medications can be prescribed or a specialist referral arranged.

Weight management is complex and influenced by many factors. Practical support and medical expertise are provided without judgment, with a focus on finding sustainable approaches that work for your life.
