Dr. Tayla Meerkin

General Practitioner

MBBS, FRACGP

Dr Meerkin practices on Monday's, Tuesday's, Friday's and Sunday's.

I'm a GP who believes good medicine starts with being properly listened to. I aim to thoroughly understand your issue, to make sure you feel heard, answer your questions, and have you leave with a plan and clear next steps that you feel confident in.

Women's health is my first medical passion. I see patients for menstrual concerns, contraception options, pregnancy planning, sexual health, mental health, and any other issue more broadly. I also have extra qualifications for prescribing medical abortions, and can discuss all options sensitively with patients.

Mental health, across all ages and genders, is also a focus of mine.

As a young mum, children's health is another area of interest — and something I'm deepening at the moment through further training with the NDC Institute (the Possums approach), an evidence-based framework for supporting families through feeding, sleep, crying, settling, and the mental health wobbles that can come with new parenthood. 

I live locally with two little boys of my own, so I’m well-placed to support you through the challenges that can come with this stage of life.



As a recent fellow, I'm up to date with all the current guidelines and ensure that I maintain this so that my advice is in line with best practice. Importantly, I make a point of running on time, so you know you’ll be seen at the time that you booked.
