Where Charlie Ralph Clinic started
Mermaid Beach is our original clinic. You will find us on Lavarack Road, one street back from the Gold Coast Highway, in a space set up so that consultations and treatments happen in closed rooms rather than on an open salon floor.
It sits between Nobby Beach and Broadbeach, a few minutes from Pacific Fair and Burleigh Heads, which makes it an easy stop before or after work. Inside it is deliberately quiet — plaster walls, soft light, and a place to sit for a moment before your appointment.
Every visit starts with a consultation. One of our registered nurses goes through your medical history, assesses whether a treatment is suitable for you, explains the risks and what to expect, and gives you clear pricing. There is no obligation to book treatment on the day.
Doctor-led prescribing
Schedule 4 medications are prescribed only after a formal consultation with one of our qualified prescribing doctors.
Private treatment rooms
Your consultation and any treatment take place behind a closed door, with time to ask questions.
Afterpay available
Afterpay can be used on all treatments at this clinic, so cost can be spread across payments.

What your visit looks like
- Medical history and goals: Your nurse reviews your medical history and asks what you would like to change, so nothing is assumed.
- Assessment and options: A face-to-face assessment of whether a treatment is suitable for you, what the alternatives are, and what the risks involve.
- Written pricing: Clear pricing for anything discussed, with Afterpay available. No estimates that change later.
- Your decision, your timing: You are never asked to decide on the day. Take the information home, and seek a second opinion if you want one.
