What STI treatment online covers
STI treatment online — same-day, bulk-billed with Medicare. The Specialist GP phone consult is bulk-billed for Medicare card holders, anywhere in Australia. If you already tested positive at Clinic365, the follow-up treatment consult uses the same pricing. In-person care at our East Melbourne clinic is available for injection treatments, procedures, or any consult where face-to-face fits better.
If you have a possible HIV exposure within 72 hours, that's emergency PEP, not a routine treatment consult. PEP must start within 72 hours of exposure to work. Outside business hours, your nearest major public hospital emergency department can also provide PEP.
How it works. Book a Specialist GP phone consult. The Specialist GP calls at your booked time, reviews your result if you've already tested or interprets your symptoms, lands on the treatment plan, and arranges treatment on the call. The consult runs 10 to 20 minutes. Same-day appointments are usually available within an hour or two during the day, 8am to 8pm, 7 days. If anything needs hands-on care — examination of a visible lesion, a procedure, or an injection treatment — the Specialist GP arranges the in-person pathway.
What we treat by phone. Chlamydia, gonorrhoea where phone treatment is appropriate, mycoplasma genitalium with treatment matched to the resistance result, trichomonas, BV, thrush, and recurrent herpes outbreaks are all routinely managed by phone, Australia-wide. A clear-cut first herpes outbreak is often manageable by phone too, depending on the presentation. Every plan follows current Australian STI Management Guidelines, matched to your specific result and situation.
When in-person care is needed. Some treatment can't be done over the phone, and the Specialist GP flags it during the consult. Syphilis treatment and some gonorrhoea presentations need an in-person injection. Complications — pelvic pain, fever, suspected pelvic inflammatory disease, epididymitis — need examination. Recurrent or treatment-resistant infections may need swabs or specialist sexual health review. In each case the Specialist GP arranges the right pathway, in-clinic at East Melbourne or with a service near you.
Telling partners. Recent partners should be tested and treated so the infection doesn't bounce back. The Specialist GP works through who needs to know and how during the consult. You can tell partners directly, ask the Specialist GP to send a generic notification letter, or use the anonymous Let Them Know service — an Australian-government-supported tool that sends an anonymous SMS or email to a partner after a diagnosis, with a link to information and testing.
Confidentiality. STI treatment through Clinic365 is confidential. We don't notify your regular GP, employer, school, or insurer by default. Chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis B are notifiable — positive results are reported anonymously to your state Department of Health for surveillance and contact tracing only, the same reporting any clinic does. A summary letter to your regular GP can be sent with your explicit consent if you'd like continuity of care.
