Medical Weight Loss

What You Need to Know

Losing weight — and keeping it off — can be incredibly challenging. Under the guidance of our experienced clinical team, medication may be offered alongside personalised dietary, psychological and behavioural support.

For some people, weight loss medications can be a helpful tool as part of a broader, supportive program.

How Weight Loss Medications Work?

Weight loss injections are prescription-only medications designed to support appetite regulation and reduce cravings. In Australia, a range of options are available to support patients in achieving their goals when used in combination with dietary and lifestyle changes.

These medications work by mimicking natural gut hormones that influence hunger, digestion, and fullness. Many patients find that the medications help them feel fuller for longer, making it easier to make sustainable changes to eating habits and portion sizes.

At Sunshine Coast Medical Weight Loss Centre, we offer a comprehensive medical weight loss program that may include the use of prescription medications when appropriate. These medications are just one part of a holistic, patient-centered approach to long-term weight control.

Our Approach

We recognise that medication alone is not a long-term solution. That’s why all patients on medical weight loss medications are supported by our multidisciplinary team, including:

Pre- and post-treatment dietitian appointments
Access to experienced psychological support
Ongoing clinical monitoring
Education and follow-up to support long-term change

We follow strict clinical protocols to ensure that medications are prescribed appropriately, and we carefully monitor each patient’s progress and wellbeing throughout the journey.

Is It Right for You?

Medical weight loss may be suitable for individuals who:

Have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone
Are not ready or suitable for surgery
Have weight-related health conditions
Are motivated to make sustained lifestyle changes with support

During your initial consultation, we’ll explore whether medication is an appropriate option for your needs and goals.

What support do I get?

At Sunshine Coast Weight Loss Centre, you’re not doing this alone. Our team includes a specialist surgeon, bariatric dietitians, psychologists, and GP support — all working together to help you succeed.

You’ll have:

Ongoing nutrition support, including InBody scans
Psychology sessions focused on food behaviours and mindset
Regular reviews to track your health and progress
Access to telehealth and in-person care for convenience

This team-based approach is a big part of why our patients not only lose the weight — but keep it off.
