Dr Lauren De Luca
Obstetrician/Gynaecologist MBBS, FRANZCOG, DDU (O&G)
With over a decade of specialist experience in Melbourne’s leading public hospitals, Lauren has joined Women’s Obstetrics and Gynaecology Specialists, where she brings her expertise to both obstetric and gynaecological care in the private setting.
Lauren is committed to providing safe, evidence-based, and compassionate care for all women. She works closely with both medical and midwifery colleagues to ensure a truly collaborative approach to care. Her patients value her kindness, excellent communication skills, and ability to build trusting relationships.
Originally from Melbourne, Lauren completed her medical degree at the University of Adelaide before returning to Victoria in 2008 to undertake specialist training at the Royal Women’s Hospital. She became a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (FRANZCOG) in 2014, following comprehensive training across a range of Victorian hospitals. She holds a Diploma of Diagnostic Ultrasound (DDU) from the Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine, enabling her to provide high-level ultrasound assessment as part of her clinical care.
Lauren has previously held prominent leadership positions. In her roles as Medical Director of Birth Centre (Royal Women’s Hospital) and Director of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (Western Health), she was instrumental in ensuring both safety and patient experience were prioritised. Lauren continues to work as an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at the Royal Women’s Hospital, where she takes great pleasure in teaching and mentoring junior medical staff.
In addition to her work as a private and public Obstetrician Gynaecologist, Lauren also holds the following appointments:
- Consultant Sonologist at Western Imaging for Women
- Consultant Obstetrician, Paediatric Infant Perinatal Emergency Retrieval Service (PIPER), The Royal Children’s Hospital
- Member of the Neonatal and Stillbirth Subcommittees of the Consultative Council on Obstetric and Paediatric Mortality and Morbidity
Lauren offers individualised care for every pregnancy, including those considered high risk. She is supportive of women and families requesting birth preferences such as vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) and vaginal twins. Lauren provides pre-pregnancy counselling and cares for women experiencing recurrent miscarriage.
In addition to her expertise in pregnancy care, Lauren offers a comprehensive range of gynaecological services, including the management of painful periods, abnormal bleeding, and advice on contraception and menopause. She can provide surgical treatment options for conditions such as persistent bleeding, fibroids and endometriosis.
Outside of work, Lauren is married to Daniel and is the proud mum of two energetic boys, Oscar and Felix, who keep her on her toes with their busy sporting schedules. In her free time, she enjoys cooking, reading, attending live music and theatre and has recently returned to ballet after a 20-year break.
