Dr Margie Scanlon
Dr Margaret-Louise Scanlon is a specialist gynaecologist dedicated to providing thoughtful, patient-centred care for women across all stages of life.
Known for her clear communication and down-to-earth approach, Margie works closely with patients to ensure they understand their diagnosis, treatment options and the path forward.
Her goal is simple — that every woman leaves her consultation feeling informed, supported and confident in their care.
A Whole-of-Health Perspective
Margie’s path into gynaecology began in general practice. Working as a rural GP gave her a broad perspective on women’s health and a deep appreciation for the importance of clear communication in medicine.
This experience continues to shape the way she practices today, allowing her to approach gynaecological care with a whole-of-health perspective and a strong commitment to collaboration with referring doctors and a multidisciplinary team.
A Thoughtful Approach To Care
Margie believes women deserve:
-
Clear explanations
-
Compassionate care
-
Evidence-based treatment
-
The ability to make informed decisions about their health
Her approach combines clinical expertise with a calm and supportive consultation style.

Current Focus of Practice
To ensure she can provide the highest level of care, Margie’s private practice is currently focused on gynaecology.
While she has a strong interest in pregnancy and reproductive health, she does not currently provide private obstetric care.
Providing obstetric care requires full availability throughout pregnancy and birth. As Margie continues to hold a role within the public hospital system, she has chosen to focus her private work on gynaecology to ensure every patient receives the attention and continuity of care they deserve.
She continues to support women through many aspects of reproductive health, including pre-pregnancy counselling and planning.
