Free STI / STD Testing Online

STI Doctor offers fully telehealth-based STI consultations and testing across Australia. Book a quick video or phone consult with an Australian doctor (usually within 15 minutes), discuss your concerns, and receive an instant electronic pathology referral for testing at any nearby collection centre (e.g., blood, urine, or self-swab). No in-person clinic visit needed for most cases—results come back securely, with follow-up if required.

Yes—consultations are bulk-billed (no out-of-pocket cost) with a valid Medicare card. Standard STI pathology tests (e.g., chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV) are typically covered by Medicare at collection centres, meaning $0 gap for eligible patients. Prescriptions for treatment are eScripts sent to your pharmacy (PBS-covered meds often low-cost).

Absolutely—many STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhoea can show no symptoms, so regular screening is key even if you feel fine. Our doctors assess your risk during the consult and recommend appropriate tests (urine, blood, swabs) based on guidelines—perfect for routine checks after new partners or unprotected sex.

No—the entire process is online via telehealth. After your consult, we send a pathology referral you take to any convenient collection centre (widespread nationwide, including regional areas). Samples are simple (no invasive exams usually needed), and we handle results notification and treatment planning discreetly.

Results typically arrive in 2-7 days (depending on tests and lab). We’ll contact you securely via message or follow-up consult to explain them. If positive, treatment (e.g., antibiotics) can start immediately via eScript—no extra fees for the follow-up.

We cover common tests including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B/C, and others based on your history. Treatment is available for common bacterial and viral STIs (e.g., chlamydia/Herpes). For more complex treatments, such as syphilis or HIV, we can advise or refer if needed.

Fully private—we comply with Australian privacy laws and telehealth standards. No information is shared without consent (not even with your regular GP unless you request). Secure video/phone consults, encrypted results, and discreet notifications make it ideal if you want to avoid embarrassment or local clinics. Some labs may upload your results to My Health Records, which you can prevent by requesting the lab directly.

Anyone sexually active or concerned about having an STI, those with multiple partners, in non-monogamous relationships, MSM, or after unprotected sex/new partners. It’s great for rural/regional Australians, busy people, or those preferring privacy—no referral needed, just Medicare.

Yes—our doctors provide bulk-billed follow-up, explain results, and prescribe treatment (e.g., antibiotics for chlamydia or antivirals for herpes) via eScript. We also guide partner notification/contact tracing discreetly. Some conditions may require specialised treatment, which you may need to be referred to, which our doctors will inform you if required. For presumptive treatment (e.g., partner positive), we can often treat without waiting for your results.

Guidelines recommend at least annually if sexually active, or every 3-6 months if higher risk (multiple partners, casual encounters). Our doctors tailor advice to your situation during the consult—regular testing is the best way to stay healthy and catch issues early.

For mild symptoms, yes—we start online and can prescribe treatment or refer for in-person if needed. If urgent, seek immediate care, but telehealth is a fast first step for most.
