Discreet STI, STD & HIV Testing in Sunshine Coast, QLD

Discreet STI Testing & Treatment in Sunshine Coast

At STI Doctor, sexual health is simple, private, and highly accessible in Sunshine Coast. 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 on the Sunshine Coast

QML Pathology and Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology both have collection centres on the Sunshine Coast, including Maroochydore and Sippy Downs (near UniSC). 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 on the Sunshine Coast

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 QML or Sullivan Nicolaides 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 Sunshine Coast Sexual Health Service is at Caloundra Hospital, 2 West Terrace, Caloundra, with sessions at Nambour General Hospital on set days (07 3542 5065). It's free, you don't need a Medicare card, and appointments are required. Our doctor will tell you if you need this and help arrange it.

Need HIV PEP urgently on the Sunshine Coast?

PEP needs to be started within 72 hours of a possible HIV exposure, and the sooner the better. In Queensland, PEP is available from most public hospital emergency departments and sexual health clinics, and 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84) gives advice 24/7. The Sunshine Coast Sexual Health Service also provides PEP. (more information) You can also book an urgent PEP consult with us.

STIs on the Sunshine Coast: what the numbers show

The Sunshine Coast recorded an infectious syphilis rate of 15.4 per 100,000 people in 2024, below the Queensland-wide rate of 27.0, but syphilis is rising across Australia and was declared a Communicable Disease Incident of National Significance in August 2025. Many STIs cause no symptoms, so regular testing is the only reliable way to know. Source: Queensland Health, Syphilis in Queensland 2024.
