 Hi, our names are Maria, Jane and Colleen (left to right) and we’re specialist sexual health nurses at headspace. We know that sometimes talking about sex stuff might be embarrassing or scary so we want to reassure you that our clinic is a safe and private place where you can come to talk freely and get information and help. As well as doing STI, HIV and hepatitis testing and treatment, we can explain the latest HIV prevention methods and medications like PREP and PEP. We can also do pregnancy tests, give out the ‘morning after pill’ and talk about the right contraception for you. To visit the clinic just drop in during clinic hours on Monday 1-5pm or Wednesday 2-6pm and ask to see the sexual health nurse (or Satellite clinic). No appointment or referral is needed. Our service is free and you do not need your Medicare card to visit us.
