Meet Dr Nic and Georgie
We’re Georgie Drury and Dr. Nicole Avard — two women from very different worlds brought together by one shared mission: to transform the future of women’s health.
Dr Nic has spent more than 20 years on the frontline of healthcare as a GP, supporting women through every stage of life and witnessing firsthand the growing pressure on our healthcare system. She saw too many women dismissed, rushed through appointments, misdiagnosed, or told their symptoms were “just stress” while silently struggling through peri-/menopause and midlife health challenges.
Georgie came from the worlds of technology, innovation and corporate Australia — but also from the perspective of a patient. After building and scaling digital health businesses across APAC, she knew healthcare could — and should — feel better. More connected. More personalised. More transparent. More human.
Together, we co-founded Metluma — a doctor-led, technology-enabled women’s health platform designed to help women access the right care, at the right time, in the right way.
Our work sits at the intersection of medicine, technology, behavioural science and lived experience. We speak globally about women’s health, the future of healthcare, AI and human-centred care, workplace wellbeing, and the urgent need to redesign systems that were never built with women in mind.
Audiences connect with us because we bring both sides of the story — the clinician and the consumer, the healthcare system and the human experience, the science and the real life.
My Why
We believe women deserve better healthcare experiences.
Not rushed appointments. Not fragmented systems. Not years of being unheard.
After seeing the gaps from both sides — as doctor and patient, clinician and founder — we realised the system wasn’t designed for the complexity of modern women’s lives.
Women want to feel heard. They want transparent care. They want trusted information, personalised support and clinicians who connect the dots — not just treat isolated symptoms.
That’s why we do this work.
To help women advocate for themselves. To educate workplaces and healthcare providers. To use technology to improve access and continuity of care — without losing the human connection that matters most.
We’re passionate about creating a future where healthcare is proactive, personalised and empowering — and where women no longer have to suffer in silence to succeed.
