We are a gay friendly service and are comfortable and familiar with seeing same sex attracted men and women.
FPWA is one of the main organisations in WA offering clinical training in sexual and reproductive health. This means there may sometimes be two health professionals involved in a consultation. The person in charge of the consultation is an FPWA doctor or advanced practice nurse who works alongside someone doing training. This person can be a qualified nurse or doctor, medical or nursing student or health worker.
Male health practitioners also work at FPWA. While we try and accommodate any requests from clients that they only see a female practitioner, this may not always be possible.
