Find care for your question, not just a nearby address

If you have symptoms or questions about herpes or another STI, a GP or sexual health service can help assess your situation. Dating advice and member stories cannot do that job.

Use an Australian service directory

Search healthdirect Service Finder by location and the service you need. A listing is a starting point rather than a promise of availability. Contact the clinic to confirm it can help before travelling, particularly from a regional or remote area.

Prepare the practical questions

• Do you need an appointment or referral?
• What are the fees, and does your Medicare or other cover affect them?
• If you have a new sore or other symptom, how soon should you be seen?
• Is interpreting, accessibility support or a telehealth discussion available?
• How will the service contact you privately with results?

Ask about costs even if you have used a different clinic before. Do not assume every service is free or that telehealth can replace an examination or sample collection.

Bring questions, not a diagnosis from a quiz
