Dr Jess Wade
BBiomedSc(Hons) MBBS FRANZCOG
Dr Jess Wade is a specialist Gynaecologist who is deeply committed to providing excellence in women’s healthcare and supporting women to achieve their best possible health outcomes.
Jess has undertaken a prestigious two-year Advanced Laparoscopic Fellowship through the Australasian Gynaecological Endoscopy and Surgery (AGES) Society, building on a strong foundation in gynaecology and fertility care. She completed her specialist Obstetrics and Gynaecology training at leading Victorian tertiary hospitals, including the Royal Women’s Hospital, Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s, Sunshine Hospital, and at Obstetrics and Gynaecology Ballarat. Her advanced surgical training allows her to deliver high-quality minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery, with a particular focus on the surgical management of endometriosis.
Jess’ clinical practice is grounded in evidence-based medicine and a holistic approach to care. Her areas of interest include endometriosis, infertility, fibroids, ovarian cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and general gynaecology. She works collaboratively with patients and multidisciplinary teams to develop individualised care plans aligned with each patient’s goals and values.
Central to Jess’ approach is the importance of holding space for her patients - creating a safe, respectful environment where patients feel comfortable sharing their experiences and actively participating in decisions about their care. Known for her compassion, kindness, and warmth, Jess strives to ensure every patient feels informed, supported, and empowered in their healthcare journey.
Jess holds a public hospital appointment at Peninsula University Hospital, where she is actively involved in teaching and mentoring medical students and junior doctors. She is passionate about contributing to the ongoing development of women’s health care and supporting the next generation of clinicians.
