IV Health was founded in 2017 by Dr Josef Goldbaum (medical director) and his daughter Nurse Naomi Richter (clinical director).

Dr Goldbaum graduated from the University of Melbourne in 1971; and after 18 months in Canada began his General practice in Mount Waverley in 1975. Becoming quickly disillusioned with the directions of 'modern medicine', he began the study of other methods of delivering health care to his patients. This included Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Kinesiology and most importantly Nutritional and Environmental Medicine.

Dr Goldbaum began utilising intravenous Vitamin C in 1978 using the high dosages recommended by Dr Linus Pauling and Dr Fred Klenner. At the end of 1978 he presented his results and findings to the Scientific Program of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and was published in the Nurses Journal.

With a small group of dedicated health and medical practitioners, he became one of the founding fathers of the Australian Integrative Medical Movement which has evolved into the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM) of which he is a Fellow.

He then spent the next 16 years practicing his skills and developing new ones which included antiaging and lifestyle medicine and Telehealth. Josef has continued his practice and investigations of integrative medicine and health care as well as practicing cosmetic medicine and cosmetic surgery in Qld, NSW, SA and Vic. Joesf’s knowledge and practice of Specialist general practice as well as integrative and complementary Medicine, is extremely extensive and forms the foundation of his current consultative practice.

Established in May 2023, IV Health Sunshine Coast located at Sippy Downs is the first IV Health clinic in Queensland – a chic clinic with the most friendly staff ready to provide a complete service for you! In September 2023 we expanded our services to include the Wide Bay region with a clinic in Bargara. The clinics are owned by Denise Donati a registered nurse and midwife with over 40 years nursing experience. Her passion for working with clients who have fertility difficulties saw Denise set up Fertility Solutions Sunshine Coast & Bundaberg’s IVF clinics over 15 years ago where she still works today.

IV Health has over 40 years industry combined experience and specialises in intravenous and booster vitamin and mineral therapies that may support your body to function at its peak! We deliver vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly into the bloodstream to achieve 100% absorption compared to limited absorption when vitamins and minerals are administered orally. You can be confident that the infusion formulae recommended is the best fit for you at the time!

We also have a range of pre-made IV infusions and boosters, specifically formulated to help target certain conditions and support the body. If you are new to IV Health you will have an initial consultation with an IV Nurse and a doctor who will recommend a personalised treatment tailored for your needs.

Government regulations prevent us from advertising and detailing specific conditions or treatments. Please direct your questions to the medical team during your consultation, and of course, in all personal medical matters, be guided by your regular GP or health care provider.
