Most people with a s*xually transmitted infection (STI) won’t have any symptoms and can unknowingly pass it on. The upside? All STIs are treatable.

STIs are on the rise across Australia. In the last 10 years alone, syphilis cases have tripled, and gonorrhoea cases have doubled. Up to 80% of people with an STI show no symptoms, but that doesn’t mean the infection isn’t active or contagious.

It’s simple: Get tested. Get treated.

Testing is quick, private, and often doesn’t even require seeing a doctor. Don’t wait for symptoms. If you’re s*xually active, make testing part of your health routine.

Go beyond awareness—build real skills to take action.

Reproductive coercion and abuse (RCA) affects up to 1 in 4 women experiencing FDV, yet it often goes unnoticed. Without proper training, warning signs can be missed, and survivors remain unsupported.

This specialist training is designed for FDV professionals who need practical skills, not just theory. Led by s*xual and reproductive health experts, this session provides interactive, hands-on learning to help you recognise RCA, respond effectively, and refer survivors to support services.

Anyone aged 18 and under or with a government concession or health care card will be bulk billed for doctor consultations and pay no out-of-pocket cost for reproductive and s*xual health nurse consultations. In order to bulk bill an appointment its best to bring a Medicare card, but if you can’t get one, we may be able to help with that too.

The staff at our clinic specialise in s*xual health – this means that all day, every day they’re helping people with s*xual health matters, so they are great at making you feel relaxed and safe to talk about any issues or concerns.

If you just want to ask a question, you can also call us on our free, anonymous helpline or even email us shq.org.au/helpline.
