Dizziness and Vertigo Clinic in Westmead

Sydney Dizziness Clinic consults at Ashley Lane, Westmead, within reach of the Westmead health precinct and central Parramatta. Consultations are led by a vestibular medicine doctor. Assessment, discussion of the findings and a management plan are handled within the clinic.

What happens at your appointment

1. A detailed history

Time is spent on how the dizziness behaves — what triggers it, how long each episode lasts, and what else happens alongside it. The history is a central part of the assessment.

2. Vestibular and neurological examination

Eye-movement testing, positional testing, balance and gait assessment, and a focused neurological examination.

3. Vestibular function testing

Recorded testing is arranged where it is clinically indicated, rather than routinely.

4. A management plan and a report

The findings and options are explained to you, and a written report is sent to your referring doctor. A standard assessment is usually completed across two appointments.

A cause is not identified in every case, and the benefit obtained from treatment varies between individuals.
