Dr Kym Jansen
Obstetrician/Gynaecologist MBBS, FRANZCOG
Kym is a member of the Women’s Obstetric & Gynaecology Specialists.
Dr Kym Jansen has been part of the private practice group Women’s Obstetric & Gynaecology Specialists (WOGS) and Frances Perry for more than 25 years. She remains as passionate and enthusiastic about her profession as she was on day one. Kym has developed skills across the full spectrum of specialist obstetrics and gynaecology, and has now decided to focus her expertise on providing comprehensive gynaecological care to her patients.
Kym prides herself on developing a holistic relationship with her patients, ensuring that each one receives exactly the kind of personalised care they need. Her approach to women’s health is to focus on positive physical and psychological care throughout the whole life cycle. She enjoys helping women manage everything from routine screening to coping with period issues, pelvic pain, contraception, peri/menopause changes and later life problems. Kym strongly believes that doctor-patient relationships are based on trust, communication and shared decision making.
She is an expert gynaecological surgeon, specialising in both traditional open surgery and minimally invasive or laparoscopic operations. Kym admits all her patients to Frances Perry House and shares rooms on site with the other members of the WOGS team.
Kym holds numerous leadership positions. She is the Clinical Lead in Gynaecology at the Royal Women’s Hospital, a position she has held since 2017. Prior to this, she was the co-ordinator of specialist training at The Women’s, and she continues to have a strong involvement in the training and wellbeing of upcoming specialists. She has a Graduate Certificate in Surgical Education and recently became one of the first Surgical Coaches in Australia through AGES and the Academy for Surgical Coaching. Kym has presented at many conferences and also has a Senior Clinical Advisor role on a Government committee looking into improving aspects of Gynaecological care in Victoria.
Kym is respected by her colleagues, not only for her knowledge and experience, but also for her kind and friendly nature. She is also dedicated to helping the broader community being one of the lead doctors in a team of doctors and nurses who travel annually to Mongolia to provide surgical training and support to doctors there. Since her first trip in 2009, she has played an important part in improving women’s health care there, in particular the accessibility of laparoscopic gynaecological surgery. Going to Mongolia always challenges her and informs her global perspective of women’s health. Each time she returns home, her appreciation of the medical care available in Australia is renewed.
Kym’s two children are now independent adults so she can enjoy many activities such as running, pilates and golf. With her years of delivering babies behind her she now has more time to see her gynaecology patients without the constant interruptions that came with a busy obstetric practice.
