May 12th is International Nurses Day and we celebrate and thank our nursing staff at MSHC for the compassionate, inclusive and expert care they provide every day.

From supporting our community through testing, treatment, research, education and creating safe and welcoming spaces for all.

Last month MSHC was proud to host a workshop for women Members of Parliament from across Victoria and the Pacific, including Fiji, Nauru, Tonga, Papua New Guinea, and Bougainville.

Our Dr Mel shared an overview of MSHC’s services, along with a presentation on HIV, offering insight into how a health-based organisation in Australia operates. With HIV remaining a significant issue across the Pacific, delegates showed strong interest in learning more about our approach—particularly the work of The Green Room.

It was a valuable opportunity to exchange knowledge, strengthen regional connections, and support shared efforts in improving sexual health outcomes.

Yesterday, December 1st was World AIDS Day which began in 1988 to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS.

World AIDS Day encourages awareness within our community and across the world reminding us that HIV is still a global epidemic

In Australia, an estimated 30,890 people are living with HIV. Worldwide that is approximately 40.8 million (2024). On December 1st we also honour all those who have lost their lives from AIDS-related illnesses.

The 2025 theme “No One Left Behind” calls for addressing inequities in HIV prevention and care by improving access and outcomes for First Nations peoples, culturally and linguistically diverse communities and those living in regional and remote areas.

There are now highly effective prevention and treatment options that support better health outcomes and significantly reduce transmission which include:

• HIV testing to support early diagnosis and timely care
• PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) to prevent HIV
• PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) for protection following a potential exposure
• Antiretroviral treatment, enabling people living with HIV to maintain their health and achieve U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable)

📣 Important Announcement 📣

Starting December 2nd, MSHC will see people by appointment only, this means you'll need to book a time to see a clinician.

Clients will call MSHC first to speak with a sexual health nurse, the nurse will talk with you to understand your needs and help you receive the right care - this may be an appointment at MSHC or referral to another service that can help you sooner or closer to home.

If you arrive without an appointment, we might not be able to help you that day.

🟢 Please note: All services at The Green Room remain the same.🟢

At the end of August our HIV nurses attended the 2025 SPARKS! Nurses Forum – The conference was for nurses across Australia to share, learn, and build new connections among the space.

This year’s forum focused on the vital role of nurses in HIV care, and the importance of strong partnerships with pharmacist colleagues to achieve the best outcomes for people living with HIV.

Our TGR clinical coordinator Libby presented "Growing a long acting model of care in a sexual health clinic".

Over two days, the team explored treatment innovation, implementation, and real-world experiences – all with the end goal of empowering the community.
