Dr Kate Abel

I am an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with a strong passion for providing personalised, patient-centred care. I have a particular interest in high-risk obstetrics and am dedicated to supporting women through all stages of their reproductive journey.

In addition to my private practice, I work at the Mercy Hospital for Women, where I consult in the general pregnancy and perinatal medicine clinics, including maternal-fetal medicine, recurrent miscarriage, and diabetes clinics. I also provide care in the early pregnancy assessment clinic (including ultrasound) and the endosurgery gynaecology units. My work involves frequent obstetric and gynaecology operating lists, ultrasound sessions, and regular management of the tertiary-level birth suite.

I previously served as Chief Registrar at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Parkville and completed a fellowship with the Placental Adhesive Disorders team. Most of my specialist training took place at the Royal Women’s Hospital, with additional experience gained at Monash Health and a number of rural and regional hospitals.
