Why choose Perth Weight Clinic
It is important that individuals seeking weight management support receive holistic care from medical and allied health practitioners with experience and advanced skills.
​​​​​​
Our practitioners have globally-recognised obesity and weight management expertise. We understand the science of weight gain and that there is no one-sized-fits-all approach to treatment.
​​​​
We take a scientific approach to understanding your metabolism and body composition, using advanced assessments to help tailor treatment plans to achieve weight loss. This ensures your treatment is truly personalised and based on real metabolic data.
Your Assessment
For your first consultation, we provide a long consultation (40 minutes) with a medical practitioner. We understand that talking about your weight can be emotive. We want you to feel relaxed and understood by giving you the time and space to discuss your health in a non-judgemental and stigma-free environment.
