Dr Christine Armstrong
Bendigo Community Health Services
Doctor Christine Armstrong has dedicated the past 12 years to developing quality health and wellbeing services for women of all ages in the Bendigo region.
She is a passionate advocate of the right for women to access appropriate and affordable specialised women’s health services.
“I have been privileged as a GP to specialise in women’s health for more than 20 years in Queensland, Tasmania and now Bendigo,” Dr Armstrong says.
“When I arrived in Bendigo 12 years ago, apart from Bendigo hospital there were no medical practices offering a dedicated service specialising in women’s health. Thankfully, today, that’s no longer the case.”
Dr Armstrong has played a lead role in developing a highly-regarded women’s health clinic at Bendigo Community Health Services.
“This service has gone from one GP and a nurse providing one afternoon a week to now three GPs with women’s health skills and three sexual health nurses providing full-time services across BCHS sites in Central Bendigo and Eaglehawk,” Dr Armstrong says.
