Costs

The Brisbane Sexual Health Service is a free service, and includes the appointment, treatment and testing done. In some very rare cases you may be required to pay for certain medications, though this will be discussed in your appointment.

Do I need a referral?

Our service allows for self-referrals, though a referral from your GP may be required for certain services.

Do I need a Medicare card?

You do not need a Medicare card to access Brisbane Sexual Health.

Telehealth

Most of the appointments we offer are required to be in-person, though under some circumstances decide by Brisbane Sexual Health, we can offer telehealth to our ongoing clients.

You need to arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your appointment time. (see Parking & Transport)

If you arrive late, your appointment may be forfeited and you will be rescheduled another appointment at a later date.

When you arrive to the service, please speak with the admin officers at the front desk to check in.

Please also be aware we may need to collect a urine sample.

You will be asked to provide details on your sexual health history, which can sometimes be uncomfortable or embarrassing.  If you need an interpreter, please let us know.

You may be asked details about: sexual orientation, gender identity, sexual partners, sexual practices, STI symptoms, injecting or other drug use and tattoos and body piercing.

The doctor or nurse may suggest a sexual health examination which you have the right to refuse if you wish or ask for a chaperone to be present.

The genital area, cervix, anus and/or mouth may be examined for signs of STIs.

It is likely that a swab, urine sample and/or blood test will be collected for testing.

Before your appointment ends, the doctor or nurse will discuss:

• The treatment (if needed)
• The follow up (which may include re-testing/screening or another appointment)
• When and how you will receive your results
• When to book future appointments (if needed)

Provide education related to your appointment
