3 Easy Steps
📍 Find a pathology collection center near Canberra CBD:
Discreet STI Testing & Treatment in Canberra CBD
At STI Doctor, sexual health is simple, private, and highly accessible in Canberra CBD. We offer fast, secure telehealth consultations with qualified Australian doctors (FRACGP-qualified, AHPRA-registered) to test, diagnose, and treat STIs—all from the comfort of home without the hassle of an awkward clinic waiting room.
Pathology collection in Canberra
Capital Pathology has collection centres across Canberra, including Garema Place in the city. Your electronic pathology request from our doctor works at any approved collection centre, so you can pick the one closest to home or work. Most STI tests are a urine sample, a self-collected swab and/or a blood test.
HIV and STD testing in Canberra
An HIV test is a simple blood test, and it's part of a standard STI (STD) check when it's relevant to you. Your doctor can put all your tests on one pathology request, so you can do them in a single visit to a Capital Pathology or ACT Pathology centre. For eligible Medicare card holders the consult is bulk-billed and standard tests are usually covered, so there's usually no out-of-pocket cost. Results usually take 2 to 7 days, and we text you when they're in.
When you need to be seen in person
Some care can't be done by telehealth, such as an examination, an injection (the usual treatment for gonorrhoea and syphilis) or specialist care. The public Canberra Sexual Health Centre is in Building 8, Level 4, Canberra Hospital, Garran. It's free, welcomes people with or without Medicare, and is appointment-only ((02) 5124 2184). Our doctor will tell you if you need this and help arrange it.
Need HIV PEP urgently in Canberra?
PEP needs to be started within 72 hours of a possible HIV exposure, and the sooner the better. There's no ACT PEP hotline. In business hours, call the Canberra Sexual Health Centre; after hours, go to your nearest emergency department. Healthdirect (1800 022 222) is available 24/7. (more information) You can also book an urgent PEP consult with us.
STIs in the ACT: what the numbers show
ACT Health detected a sharp increase in infectious syphilis in the ACT in late 2024, on top of case numbers that have been rising since 2017. Many STIs cause no symptoms, so regular testing is the only reliable way to know. Source: ACT Health, Syphilis: information for clinicians (2025).
