Contraception Calamvale
Contraception for Calamvale Patients
Pallara Medical welcomes Calamvale patients who need a GP, at our clinic in Pallara Shopping Village. Free parking is available right outside the clinic door. Our doctors provide consultations, health checks, vaccinations and care for long-term conditions.
Emergency Contraception
If you’ve had unprotected sex or your contraception has failed, emergency contraception is more effective the sooner it’s taken, so it’s important to seek advice as soon as possible. See emergency contraception.
This comprehensive suite of services, from initial contraceptive choice to ongoing management and addressing related health needs like STI checks or pre-conception advice, ensures a streamlined and integrated approach to your care.
We regularly manage skin lesions, which include the careful removal of moles, cysts, and even some skin cancers, along with performing biopsies for diagnosis. Our services also extend to wound management, including suturing of cuts and lacerations and the effective treatment of painful ingrown toenails.
Instead of travelling to larger suburbs or city centres, locals can depend on a clinic that is both modern and welcoming. With experienced doctors, comprehensive services, and a genuine commitment to patient wellbeing, Pallara Medical offers GP care close to home.
Planning a Pregnancy
When you’re ready to stop contraception and plan a pregnancy, your GP can give advice and arrange checks. See antenatal care.
We empower you with clear, evidence-based information, often utilising visual aids and detailed handouts, to help you feel confident and comfortable with the decision you make. Our team remains a dedicated resource for any questions or concerns that may arise, offering ongoing support and adjustments to your plan as your personal and health needs evolve, fostering a true partnership.
For any more complex or major surgical requirements, our GPs will provide a thorough assessment and offer referrals to specialist surgeons or hospitals, so you can receive care that suits your condition.
Ultimately, our goal is to deliver a complete health solution, supporting your wellbeing with professionalism and compassion at every turn.
Women's Health Appointments
Contraception is part of broader women’s health care. Dr Nav has a particular interest in this area. See women’s health.
Our commitment to your reproductive health goes beyond simply outlining available methods. We provide in-depth counselling that delves into the nuances of each option, discussing not just efficacy and administration but also potential side effects, long-term implications, and how different choices might fit in well with your current lifestyle and future family planning aspirations.
Urine drug testing serves a very specific purpose for occupational health assessments, commercial licence medicals, or other formal requirements. It is specifically designed to detect the presence of certain illicit substances or prescription medications that could impair safety or performance.
These remarkable medical advancements work by stimulating your body’s natural immune response, teaching it to recognise and fight off specific pathogens without causing the illness itself.
Contraception for Young People
Teenagers can talk to a GP about contraception. Our doctors can explain how privacy and consent work for young people.
Additionally, we assist with catch-up vaccinations for any missed doses and can provide specific immunisations required for certain occupations. Rest assured, all your vaccination records are meticulously kept and reported to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR), ensuring a complete and accurate history of your protective health.
Skin Lesion Excisions: Removal of moles, skin tags, cysts, lipomas, and various types of skin cancers, often including biopsies for diagnostic purposes.

Asthma Reviews
An asthma review checks how well your symptoms are controlled, whether your inhaler technique is right and if your action plan needs updating. It’s worth booking one at least once a year, and before winter.
