WHAT TO EXPECT:

  • Reception

    You will be greeted by the friendly headspace reception staff, and just say you are there for the clinic (no need to say the sexual health clinic if you don’t feel comfortable doing so), they will understand and make sure its low key. You do not need a Medicare card or referral to be seen but referral information may assist in your care. We welcome both drop ins and pre booked appointments .

  • Consultation

    The nurse and counsellor will introduce themselves and we will have a chat with you about why you came in and try help you as best we can, whether this is answering questions, maybe teaching you some stuff, and taking some tests if that needs to be done.  

    Most of the time you can just take your own tests but sometimes the nurse might need to look especially if you have symptoms. This will be discussed with you at the time of consultation.


  • Results

    Most results are available within 7 days, and the nurse will try text you when these are back. If it has been more than 7 days you can always call or text 0467229594 to get your results. 

  • Treatment

    If the tests and examination show you need treatment you may be given medicine- tablets or an injection- at the time of consultation or you may need to come back for treatment later.  It is very important that you complete the recommended treatment even if you feel better.

  • Follow-up

    You may be asked to come back to the clinic for more tests, treatment, more education or counselling.  You may be asked to come back or contact us for your results.

  • Privacy and Confidentiality

    All information you give is strictly confidential unless there is a legal requirement for us to disclose information. Only the Clinic staff has access to the records kept for your care and treatment.  


    We keep your records so that each health professional involved in your care at the clinic has all the facts needed to provide you with the most suitable and safest treatment.

Ask Clinic 34 or your GP about PrEP


PrEP stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. It’s a pill, that is usually taken daily, that HIV-negative people can take to prevent HIV.


Taking PrEP before being exposed to HIV means there’s enough drug in your system to stop HIV if it gets into your body.


PrEP is a safe and well-tolerated drug and has been approved by Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for use by people who are HIV negative and at risk of HIV.


If taken as prescribed, PrEP reduces the risk of HIV transmission by almost 100%.
