At Perth Weight Clinic, we offer personalised treatments tailored to your unique health needs and goals. We understand that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for weight management. Our approach focuses on achieving your goals through the four pillars of health: nutrition, activity, sleep, and wellbeing. As medical and allied health practitioners, we provide a range of evidence-based treatments for weight loss, including lifestyle changes, medications, and advice on bariatric metabolic surgery. After a comprehensive consultation and metabolic health assessment, we’ll guide you in choosing the most suitable treatment options for your needs. Medications All TGA-approved medications for weight loss are available at Perth Weight Clinic. These medications may be prescribed following an in-person consultation with one of our clinicians and where we assess if they are appropriate for you. Due to restrictions, we cannot discuss treatment options without a consultation. Bariatric Metabolic Surgery For those considering bariatric metabolic surgery, we work closely with a network of trusted bariatric surgeons across Perth. We’ll advise you on the most appropriate treatment options and help determine the best approach based on your needs.

No! For decades, healthcare providers and public health programs have told people with obesity that eating less and exercising more will lead to weight loss. While this may work in the short term, metabolic adaptation often causes many individuals to regain the weight over time. This creates a frustrating cycle of weight loss and weight regain, leaving many feeling hopeless. At Perth Weight Clinic, we understand that obesity is a chronic disease. The scientific evidence shows that personalised treatment can lead to lasting weight loss for many people. Our approach does not rely on willpower, extreme motivation, or restrictive eating. Instead, we focus on providing treatments that promote healthy, sustainable weight loss that brings meaningful results.
