Sexual health clinics and contacts - Sydney inner city and suburbs
You can get a sexual health check up from your GP or at a sexual health centre.
Sexual health centres (or clinics) offer free and confidential STI (including HIV) testing, treatment and information. Specialist medical, nursing, counselling and interpreter services are also available. You don’t need your Medicare card.
Free condoms and lube are also available, along with needle and syringe programs.
If you’re not sure what tests you should get or you find it embarrassing to ask for specific tests go to the ‘What To Ask For’ (link) and print out the list of STIs and their tests. You can just take that along to your GP and ask them to do the tests listed.
For more information on STI testing call the Sexual Health Infoline on 1800 451 624 (free call).
