Sexual Health Checks in Coogee — Confidential, Judgement-Free Care
Sexual health is an important part of overall wellbeing, and regular testing is a normal, responsible part of being sexually active. A GP can offer confidential sexual health services for people of all genders, ages, and backgrounds.
Why Sexual Health Testing Matters
Sexually transmissible infections (STIs) are common in Australia and often have no symptoms — meaning many people are unaware they are infected. In 2021 alone, there were over 86,000 diagnoses of chlamydia in Australia, and both syphilis and gonorrhoea diagnoses have doubled in recent years. In August 2025, syphilis was declared a Communicable Disease Incident of National Significance in Australia due to a concerning rise in cases.
Regular testing is the only reliable way to know your sexual health status.
What Does a Sexual Health Check Include?
Depending on your history and risk factors, a sexual health assessment may include testing for:
- Chlamydia and gonorrhoea
- Syphilis
- HIV
- Hepatitis B and C
- Herpes (where clinically indicated)
According to Australian STI management guidelines, sexually active people should be tested at least annually, and every 3 months for men who have sex with men (MSM) or those with multiple partners.
