You will be greeted by the friendly headspace reception staff, and just say you are there for the clinic (no need to say the sexual health clinic if you don’t feel comfortable doing so), they will understand and make sure its low key. You do not need a Medicare card or referral to be seen but referral information may assist in your care. We welcome both drop ins and pre booked appointments .

The nurse and counsellor will introduce themselves and we will have a chat with you about why you came in and try help you as best we can, whether this is answering questions, maybe teaching you some stuff, and taking some tests if that needs to be done.  

Most of the time you can just take your own tests but sometimes the nurse might need to look especially if you have symptoms. This will be discussed with you at the time of consultation.

Most results are available within 7 days, and the nurse will try text you when these are back. If it has been more than 7 days you can always call or text 0467229594 to get your results. 

If the tests and examination show you need treatment you may be given medicine- tablets or an injection- at the time of consultation or you may need to come back for treatment later.  It is very important that you complete the recommended treatment even if you feel better.

You may be asked to come back to the clinic for more tests, treatment, more education or counselling.  You may be asked to come back or contact us for your results.
