Dr Anthony Woodward,
Obstetrician & Gynaecologist
MBBS (Hons) BmedSci (Hons) FRANZCOG
For over 20 years I’ve had the opportunity to provide pregnancy and obstetric care for women throughout Melbourne and regional Victoria. I understand that every pregnancy, every birth, is as unique as the women I care for.
I know that your pregnancy, be it considered normal or high risk is still a highly personal time for you.
I provide individual care for every patient, with support available to you at every stage as you prepare to welcome your baby to the world.
Telehealth bookings are available to make your appointments as convenient as possible. As one of my patients you have access to my after-hours paging service, providing you with 24 hour emergency care with an experienced obstetrician and gynaecologist.
While many women have a pregnancy without complications, there are reasons you might need additional care. I am experienced in caring for:
Multiple Birth Pregnancies
VBAC (Vaginal birth after caesarean section)
Caesarean Sections – elective or emergency
Pregnancy Related Surgical Conditions
Foetal Loss
Pregnancy after Miscarriage
Consulting for Previous Birth Trauma or complicated pregnancies
My obstetrics career, over the last two decades, includes my appointment as Director of Birth Centre at The Royal Women’s Hospital, while also working as a private Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. I have been a consultant obstetrician for PIPER since 2018 and an external obstetric peer expert for Loddon Region Perinatal Meeting. In 2021 I commenced as a University of Melbourne Clinical Fellow.
As a gynaecologist I have a special interest in assisting patients experiencing pelvic pain, endometriosis and abnormal bleeding or menstrual bleeding disorders.
My private rooms are located at Elgin House, where all clinicians focus on women’s health and supporting you holistically.

AREAS OF SPECIALIST CARE
OBSTETRICS.
Throughout your pregnancy, you’ll receive care and support at all times, with clear and straightforward communication. With my extensive training and decades of experience welcoming new babies to the world, you’ll be confident you’re in good hands.
FERTILITY.
There are many reasons why you might require fertility assistance. You might have health or lifestyle concerns that impact your fertility. Book an appointment if you’d like to discuss getting pregnant, or a pre-pregnancy consultation.
GYNAECOLOGY.
A gynaecology appointment allows you the opportunity to ask as many questions as you need to help you understand what’s impacting your health. I care for women who are experiencing a wide range of gynaecological issues at all ages and stages of life.
