About HIM
(Health Institute for Men)
As they age, men suffer from a range of health problems; some they share with women, others peculiar to their gender.
But until recently, it was not seen as "manly" to discuss topics such as erectile dysfunction, ejaculation problems, bladder problems, or depression. Men o
ften suffered in silence using a variety of coping mechanisms, most of which simply exacerbated the problems. All that has changed.
Dr Michael Gillman is a medical practitioner with more than 20 years experience. With specific expertise in Men's Health, weight loss and lifestyle medicine, he sits on numerous Australian national health related advisory boards and delivers presentations to medical and community groups around Australia. He is an Andrology Australia affiliate, has been an invited speaker to several international medical conferences and is regularly interviewed by media outlets. He has participated in talk-back radio segments with ABC radio. 
Dr Gillman holds a post graduate certificate in Lifestyle Medicine from the Southern Cross University in Australia and co-wrote a chapter in the medical textbook "Lifestyle Medicine" published by McGraw-Hill.
Dr Gillman has worked on many clinical research projects and has been involved in published clinical papers with the International Journal of Sexual Medicine ( Blackwell Publishing ). He is still heavily involved in continuing medical education activities for medical practitioners and has been an examiner for the Fellowship component of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. This interest in medical education continues as he undertakes teaching senior General Practice training registrars and also Doctors undertaking post graduate training courses with Family Planning in Queensland.
The Health Institute for Men was established by Dr Gillman to provide a comprehensive and quality health care service for men. From annual male health checks and weight management, through to sexual problems such as erection difficulties and ejaculation problems, this centre strives to deliver the best possible care. By situating the institute within a general medical centre, any embarrassment can be overcome as patients in the waiting room may be seeing any of the other medical services available such as skin cancer checks, General Practice appointments etc. Dr Gillman is also fully qualified to deal with any day to day General Practice issues that you may have. If you currently do not have a GP or are looking for a new GP, you are most welcome to attend the centre.
Most men are referred to the service by their GP, however a formal referral is not necessary. Please notify the receptionist that you wish to have a "Men's Health Appointment" so the correct booking can be arranged for you to see Dr Gillman. If you wish to see Dr Gillman for a General Practice appointment, please inform the reception staff of this.
The first consultation for a "Men's Health Appointment" will involve a thorough check with some tests and measurements performed. A form will be mailed out to you before your visit, with some questions about your medical, family and personal history. We ask that you complete this form and bring it with you, along with your referral letter if you have been given one by your Doctor, for the clinic visit. Medicare rebates apply for eligible patients. Further information on fees can be obtained from the reception staff. Please note that we run an "on time" appointment system.

We are confident that you will find a high quality health care service at the Health Institute for Men and look forward to welcoming you.
