Sydney Sexual Health Centre

Sydney Sexual Health Centre (SSHC) is the oldest sexual health service in NSW, operating since 1933. You don't need a Medicare card to visit us.

We are a busy centre offering testing, treatment and management for sexually transmissible infections (STI) and HIV. If you think you might have been at risk for an STI or HIV, you can do our online risk assessment Am I OK? This will help us work out if we are the best place to meet your needs. We'll ask you a few questions about your recent sexual activity and at the end, we'll tell you what to do next. We primarily deliver services to people in some priority groups, so if you see yourself as belonging to any of these, then SSHC is the place for you. These priority groups include:

People living with HIV
Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men
Sex workers
Aboriginal people
People who inject drugs
Young people

We run the Satellite clinic, a walk-in youth sexual health service on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, in partnership with headspace at Bondi Junction. We offer fast, free and confidential HIV and STI testing for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men at a[TEST] Oxford Street and Surry Hills in partnership with ACON. We have sexual health specialist doctors, nurses, counsellors, health promotion officers, researchers and administrative staff. If you have a Medicare card and are happy to use it, please bring it with you, but you can still come if you don't have one. For more information, visit: https://www.sshc.org.au/

🦷 World Oral Health Day is this week!

Mouth
Brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups are essential to keep your mouth healthy. Don’t forget — your mouth is the gateway to your overall health, and good hygiene can help prevent issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.

Mind
Did you know that oral health can affect your mental well-being? Poor oral hygiene can lead to discomfort, pain, and even self-esteem issues. Taking care of your smile can boost your confidence and overall mood, helping you feel better both physically and mentally.

Body
Oral health isn’t just about your teeth; it affects your entire body! Gum disease can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems. Keep your mouth clean, and you’ll be supporting your body’s health from head to toe.
