We believe that a targeted, innovative, and flexible response is critical to early intervention and curbing the recent acute rise in STIs across Melbourne, particularly amongst young people and people who may not typically reach out for health assistance. 

If left untreated, STIs can cause long-term effects on your body and its reproductive health. But the good news is that most STIs are curable, and all are treatable. 

That’s why we have launched a 16-week, FREE Sexual Health Pop-up Clinic at our Youth Hub in Glenroy that will be available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays until September 2022.  

Our team of doctors and nurses have extensive experience in sexual health and are committed to providing our community with confidential and non-judgemental access to free sexual health services.   

It is recommended that if you are sexually active that you be tested regularly (every 6 to 12 months) even if you do not have any symptoms and are using protection.
