  • Sexual Health Pop-up Clinic

Sexual Health Pop-up Clinic

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.  

Services available  

  • Routine STI checkups 
  • Testing and treatment for people with sexually transmissible infections  
  • Medicare bulk-billed service to patients  
  • A nurse assessment and GP consultation  
  • Please chat with our team if you need some other assistance 

Opening hours  

  • Tuesdays: 2.00pm – 6.00pm   
  • Wednesdays: 2.00pm – 6.00pm   
  • The clinic will start operating on Tuesday 28 June 2022 and will run until Tuesday 28 September 2022 

Location + Getting there 

  • Youth Projects Glenroy HQ at 6 Hartington St, Glenroy (Opposite Glenroy Station) 
  • Train: Glenroy Station is located directly opposite Youth Projects (a short 2–5-minute walk) on the Craigieburn Line

  • If that’s not your style, we do take walk-ins between 2.00 pm – 5.30 pm Tuesdays and Wednesdays. 

What will an appointment look like?  

  • When you arrive, you will be asked to complete a registration form (if you need help completing the form, staff will be able to help you) 
  • In a private and confidential room, a doctor or nurse will ask a range of questions about your general, sexual, and reproductive health. Questions may include: 
    • How many sexual partners do you have? 
    • Do you use condoms? 
    • Are your sexual partners male, female, both, or other?
