Luma’s Medical Clinic
Our female medical team of registered nurses and general practitioners are specialists in women’s healthcare, and passionate about delivering high-quality services to empower women’s health. Our appointments and procedures are accessible for all women, regardless of age, culture, belief, identity and ability. Appointments are highly confidential.
Luma approaches healthcare with a high-quality and holistic focus. We are proud to showcase our commitment to quality care with our recent accreditation against the Royal Australian College of General Practitioner’s Standards for General Practices (2024-2027).
Our clinic specialises in people assigned female at birth, although all gender identities will be respected and celebrated. If you are seeking medical care outside of our expertise, we can make a recommendation and referral for you with a trusted provider.

Telehealth Rebates
We can only provide telehealth rebates to clients who have an existing and continuous relationship with their medical practitioner. Those eligible for telehealth rebates need to have seen their practitioner face-to-face at least once in the past 12 months. New patients will need to have a face-to-face appointment with our practitioner before accessing telehealth appointments.
This is known as the ’12-month rule’ under the Medicare Benefits Schedule.
Of course, you are welcome to have a first-time telehealth session. Just note it is not rebatable.
*Exceptions apply for patients isolating due to COVID-19 and infants under 12 months of age.
