Waverley Women’s Health – Direct Access Hysteroscopy

Waverley Private Hospital offers a Direct Access Hysteroscopy Service. This service allows patients to be referred directly for a hysteroscopy, without a separate pre-procedure appointment.

What is hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy is a day procedure that allows a specialist to examine the inside of the uterus (womb) using a thin, lighted instrument called a hysteroscope. The device is passed through the vagina and cervix, with no cuts or incisions.

It may be used to investigate symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding, or to assess the uterus before IVF. It can also help detect polyps, fibroids, or other abnormalities, and can allow procedures such as removing retained tissue or inserting an IUD under general anaesthetic.

About the Direct Access Service

• Bookings are confirmed within 2 business days
• No out-of-pocket specialist fees (for patients with eligible private health insurance)
• Referral is made directly by your GP
• Option for IUD insertion under general anaesthetic (fees may apply)
