About Dr Ed Skinner and Clinic365

Dr Ed Skinner is a Melbourne-based Specialist GP with over 10 years in sexual health testing, treatment, and prevention. He founded Clinic365 to make sexual health care easier for everyone — and is also respected for his work in sexual health research and teaching as an Honorary Fellow at the University of Melbourne’s Department of General Practice and Primary Care.

Dr Ed saw that many Australians put off STI testing. They felt embarrassed, or it cost too much, or it was hard to fit in around work, study, and family. So he built Clinic365 to work differently — care that adapts to your day, not the other way around. Talk to a Specialist GP by phone, get tested at any pathology centre across Australia, or order a discreet at-home kit. Most results return by SMS within 2–3 days.

What Dr Ed treats

  • STIs: diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections.
  • HIV prevention: PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP.
  • Sexual problems: in both men and women.
  • Skin conditions: genital herpes, genital warts, and molluscum contagiosum.

Pricing built around access

With a Medicare card, the Specialist GP consult is $0 with Medicare and pathology tests are covered by Medicare — STI testing is free. If you test positive, the treatment consult is $0 with Medicare for Medicare card holders. See the fees page for the full details.

Our mission. Make sexual health care easy to get for everyone, every day of the year — with fast, low-cost, judgement-free care from Specialist GPs and pathology centres across Australia. We welcome all Australians: LGBTIQA+ people, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, overseas students, older adults, and people living with a disability.

Research and academic work

Dr Ed is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Melbourne, contributing to research, teaching, and mentoring the next generation of GPs. He works on the NHMRC Partnership Project developing a digital tool to optimise STI and HIV prevention, testing, and care across Australian general practice — alongside ASHM, the RACGP, the Victorian Department of Health, and Western Health.
