🤔 Are you unsure about where you can get a Cervical Screening Test (CST)?

You can visit several locations to have a CST including:
🩺 A doctor’s clinic
👨‍👩‍👦 Family Planning Tasmania
⚫🟡🔴 An Aboriginal Health Service.

Cervical screening is FREE every 5 years, but your chosen healthcare provider might change a consultation fee.

Remember: You can request a female healthcare provider when you make your appointment. 👩‍⚕️

🗣️ You can also request an interpreter for your appointment by calling 13 14 50.

❗ If you’re a woman or person with a cervix aged 25-74 and have ever been sexually active, you should do a Cervical Screening Test every 5 years.

🏥 Did you know there are 2 options for having a Cervical Screening Test? You can have a doctor or nurse collect your sample or collect your own sample at a doctor’s surgery.

👩‍⚕️ If you’re due, book your Cervical Screening Test today with your healthcare provider!

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Support often starts with small moments - noticing something isn’t right, checking in on someone who may be struggling, and listening without judgement.

Arch operates services in Hobart, Launceston and Burnie, that offer direct support, counselling and advice for people affected by sexual harm in a calm and welcoming environment.

To learn more about how to recognise and act on signs of child sexual abuse, go to the Tell Someone website.

Help is available:
• Arch: arch.tas.gov.au
• Tell Someone: tellsomeone.tas.gov.au

Sometimes one conversation can make a difference.

📢 Launceston STI Drop-In Clinic

Please note our STI drop-in clinic in Launceston has changed. The clinic will now run on the first Wednesday of every month only, from 1:30pm – 3:45pm.

💡 Why STI testing is important
Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) don’t show any symptoms, so it’s possible to have an STI and not know it. Regular testing helps protect your own health and your partners’ health and means infections can be treated early before they cause complications.

Our STI clinic is nurse-led and is for individuals who are currently not experiencing any symptoms. If you are experiencing any symptoms, please contact us to book an appointment so we can provide you with the appropriate care.

💰 Fees
• Free for people under 21 years
• Free for full-time students
• Free for concession card holders
• $30 for all other patients
🌈 We welcome people of all genders and sexual orientations.

Our team provides confidential, non-judgemental sexual health care, testing, and advice.
📍 Launceston Clinic
🗓 First Wednesday of each month
⏰ 1:30pm – 3:45pm

Yesterday was a very special day at Family Planning Tasmania 🎉

We had the honour of celebrating a very important little man — the son of Dr Catherine Moult — who turned 3! 💛

As one of the very few males in our team (alongside our CEO and Launceston receptionist) he truly was the man of the moment in the clinic.

We celebrated in true FPT style… with plenty of cake, cheese, and lots of attention 🧀🎂

Happy 3rd birthday to our special little VIP — thank you for letting us be part of your day 🚜✨
