Sexual Health Clinic in Bendigo
No symptoms? The Express STI test suits routine screening. If you have any symptoms — discharge, sores, pain, unusual bleeding, or a rash — book a Specialist GP phone consult instead, so they can take a history, choose the right tests, and arrange treatment if you need it.
The standard screen covers five infections. A routine screen tests for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis B from one blood test and a urine sample. Optional add-ons: herpes, Mgen, trichomonas, BV, and thrush. If you have had oral or anal sex, add a throat or anal swab — a urine sample alone misses throat and rectal infections.
STI test, STD test, or a full sexual health check in Bendigo. Whether you searched for an STI test, an STD test, an STI check, or a sexual health clinic in Bendigo, it is the same straightforward pathway: a Specialist GP arranges the screen, you give your sample at a local collection centre, and results come back by SMS. The referral works across Bendigo and across the Loddon and central Victoria, and anywhere else in regional Victoria. Bendigo is one of central Victoria's largest regional cities, serving a wide catchment across the Loddon region.
If a result is positive, treatment is arranged on the call. A Specialist GP calls you to talk it through and arranges treatment — the treatment consult is included at no additional cost. Partner notification is supported via the Let Them Know SMS tool. Chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, and HIV are reported anonymously to the Victorian Department of Health for surveillance; this is handled for you and does not appear on your personal records.
A possible HIV exposure is urgent. HIV post-exposure prevention (PEP) must start within 72 hours of exposure to work. Our Emergency PEP service can arrange same-day treatment and a pathology referral within hours. PrEP and DoxyPEP are available through Australia-wide telehealth for ongoing prevention.
How often should you test? If you are sexually active, a yearly STI screen is a sensible baseline. Test more often — around every three months — if you have new or multiple partners, after a condom breaks, or if a partner tests positive. And test whenever symptoms appear, whatever your last result was.
Medicare and pathology costs. The pathology for a standard five-infection screen is covered by Medicare and most private health insurers, so there is usually nothing to pay at the collection centre. Without Medicare, additional lab fees may apply — check with the lab you attend.

Yes. Results go directly to you by SMS. We do not notify your regular GP, employer, or insurer. At the collection centre, STI tests are processed like any other blood test. Notifiable STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV) are reported anonymously to the Victorian Department of Health under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 for surveillance — this is anonymous from your perspective and does not appear on your records.

HIV post-exposure prevention (PEP) is time-critical — it must start within 72 hours of exposure. Our Emergency PEP service can arrange same-day treatment and a pathology referral within hours. If you cannot wait, go to your nearest hospital emergency department.
