🚫 No Sydney Commute

Skip the drive to Sydney or the train ride. Our doctors consult via secure video link, bringing specialist men’s health assessment directly to your home in the Illawarra.

🌊 For The Active Lifestyle

Wollongong men are active. Whether you’re surfing, training, or working a trade, we understand the impact that fatigue and poor recovery have on your quality of life.

🏥 Local Pathology Network

Your blood work is the foundation of our assessment. We utilize a wide network of collection centers throughout Wollongong, Shellharbour, and the Northern Suburbs.

Recognizing the Signs

When “just getting older” turns into a medical concern.

Symptoms Affecting Daily Performance

Many men in Wollongong lead physically demanding lives. Low testosterone often manifests as an inability to recover or maintain previous performance levels.

  • Poor Recovery: Soreness lasting days longer than usual.
  • Fatigue: Hitting a wall in the afternoon despite sleeping.
  • Body Composition: Losing muscle mass and gaining belly fat.
  • Mental Fog: Difficulty focusing at work or managing stress.
  • Libido: Noticeable drop in sex drive or performance.
  • Motivation: Loss of drive to train or work.

⚠️ Medical Assessment Required

TRT is a serious medical decision, not a lifestyle supplement. It is strictly for men with diagnosed testosterone deficiency (hypogonadism). Our doctors use comprehensive blood panels and clinical history to determine if you are medically eligible.

Tailored for the Illawarra

Why Wollongong men choose our telehealth service.

🏋️‍♀️ Recovery & Performance Framing

Training hard but seeing results go backward? It might be physiology, not effort.

We use objective blood data (Free Testosterone, SHBG, Cortisol) to distinguish between overtraining, lifestyle fatigue, and clinical hormonal deficiency.

🚗 No Need to Travel

Historically, seeing a hormone specialist meant a day trip to Sydney.

Our service removes that barrier. You get the same standard of medical care and AHPRA-registered doctor oversight from your home in Wollongong.

🛡️ Safety & Monitoring

Telehealth does not mean “hands-off.”

We implement strict monitoring cadences (blood pressure, haematocrit, PSA) to ensure your treatment is safe. We are not a ‘set and forget’ service; we are your medical partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from patients in the Illawarra.

Do you coordinate with my regular GP?

We are happy to do so. If you request it, we can provide letters to your GP outlining your diagnosis and treatment plan. We believe in collaborative care, but we also respect your privacy if you prefer to keep your TRT management separate.

How do you monitor side effects remotely?

Safety is managed through data and communication. We require regular blood tests (every 3-6 months depending on stage of treatment) to monitor internal markers like haematocrit and liver function. We also ask you to monitor blood pressure locally. If issues arise, we adjust dosages or protocols immediately.

Can I start with existing blood results?

Yes. If you have had blood work done in Wollongong (or elsewhere) in the last 3 months, please bring it to your consultation. To be valid for assessment, it must include Total Testosterone, SHBG, and LH/FSH, and must have been drawn in the morning.

Do I ever need to travel to Sydney for this?

No. Our entire service model is designed to be 100% remote. From the initial consultation to the delivery of medication (if eligible), everything is handled via telehealth and express post.

How long does the assessment take?

The initial consultation is comprehensive (approx 30 mins). Once you have your blood test, results typically take 2-4 business days. A follow-up review is then scheduled. If eligible, most patients start treatment within 2 weeks of their first contact.

Is medication guaranteed?

No. We are a medical clinic, not a drug dispensary. Treatment is only prescribed if you have a clinical diagnosis of testosterone deficiency and no contraindications. Our doctors operate independently and adhere to AHPRA standards.
