Want the full 5-infection screen? HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis need a blood test — we'll SMS a pathology referral to walk into any lab, no kit needed.
Clinic365’s at-home STI test kit is a simple self-collection kit for chlamydia and gonorrhoea, the two most common bacterial STIs. Women self-collect a vaginal swab; men provide a urine sample. We post the kit to you, you collect your sample at home in private, and then drop it off at any pathology lab Australia-wide — there’s nothing to post back.
It’s worth knowing this kit is not a full STI screen. It’s a convenient way to check for chlamydia and gonorrhoea in between your regular screens, if that suits you. For a complete picture, a full screen — chlamydia, gonorrhoea, hepatitis B, syphilis and HIV — is recommended, and it’s just as easy (more on that below).

⚙️ How It Works
How the At-Home Kit Works
The at-home kit is designed to be simple from start to finish:
1
Quick consult
A Specialist GP checks the kit is right for you and arranges it.
2
Kit posted to you
Your self-collection kit arrives by mail, in plain, discreet packaging.
3
Collect at home
Women take a simple vaginal swab; men provide a urine sample, following the instructions.
4
Drop at any lab
Drop your sample at any pathology lab Australia-wide — all walk-in. Results by SMS, usually in 3-5 days.
What the kit checks for
The at-home kit tests for chlamydia and gonorrhoea only. HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B need a blood sample, so they’re part of the full screen at a pathology lab rather than the home kit. If you’d like the complete picture, the full screen is the way to go.
The sample you collect
Women self-collect a vaginal swab; men provide a first-catch urine sample. Both are quick and straightforward, with clear illustrated instructions in the kit — there’s no clinician needed to collect them, and nothing to post back afterwards.
🩺 Full Screen
The Full STI Screen — Recommended, and Just as Easy
A full screen covers chlamydia, gonorrhoea, hepatitis B, syphilis and HIV — the five infections worth checking for a complete picture. It’s simple and quick:
We SMS a pathology referral straight to your phone — no need to print anything, just show it at the lab.
Walk into any pathology lab Australia-wide. They’re all walk-in — no appointment or booking needed.
The pathology nurse takes a quick blood sample, then shows you how to collect your own urine sample or swab on-site.
The whole visit takes less than 5 minutes.
No fasting, no special preparation. For the urine sample, any time of day is fine — you don’t need to hold on beforehand or prepare in advance. Just walk in whenever suits you.
Book a telehealth consult and a Specialist GP sends your referral, reviews your results, and arranges treatment if anything needs it. You can start the full STI test the same way.
📱 Results
Your Results — and Who It’s For
Results come back by SMS, usually within 3-5 days, whichever option you choose. A negative result means nothing was detected in the tests you did. If a result is positive, you’re not left to deal with it alone — a Specialist GP explains what it means, arranges treatment (often by telehealth), and helps with partner notification. Most STIs are straightforward to treat.
Both the at-home kit and the full screen are ideal for routine screening when you have no symptoms. If you do have symptoms — discharge, sores, pain or unusual bleeding — or a partner has been diagnosed with an STI, it’s better to speak to a Specialist GP directly so you can be assessed and treated, rather than just screened. And keep timing in mind: every infection has a window period after exposure before a test can reliably detect it, so if you’ve had a recent risk, ask a Specialist GP about the best time to test.
Ready when you are. A Specialist GP can arrange everything by phone, with your referral sent straight to your phone by SMS.
