Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit
Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit at Mater Mothers’ Hospitals
Mater's Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit (EPAU) is a specialist area in Mater Mothers’ Hospitals (MMH) that deals specifically with problems in early pregnancy.
The unit is located on level 7 of the Mater Mothers' Hospitals building at South Brisbane. Though a referral from your GP is not essential, appointments by telephone are required. Please telephone 07 3163 5132 to arrange your visit.
During your 30 minute appointment, you will be seen by the EPAU team of a nurse, doctor and a sonographer, if a scan is required. The staff in EPAU will make a full assessment of the problems you are having, including a review of your symptoms, and a physical examination.
In some cases the visit may also involve some blood tests or an ultrasound scan. Often this scan is performed from the vagina as well as through the abdomen. Blood tests may take some hours to come back and it is not always possible to give a diagnosis straight away. We will telephone you with results and sometimes further appointments will need to be arranged.
The EPAU is open on weekdays from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm and is by appointment only.
