In 2014, Gro Clinics opened its first hair transplant clinic in Sydney, aiming to change how Australians approach hair restoration. With one doctor and one nurse, our mission was clear: deliver ethical, medically guided care for hair loss. Today, that mission continues - across a national network of doctor-led clinics in Australia and New Zealand.

Each clinic offers in-person consultations and assessments, providing personalised recommendations based on each client’s goals and medical needs.
