No GP notification. No Medicare health record entry visible to other providers. Results go directly and only to you.
At $38.95 we are 22% cheaper than the leading competitor — and lab testing is still fully bulk-billed via Medicare.
No app downloads, no waiting on hold. Your referral PDF is in your inbox within 60 seconds of payment.
Every referral issued through STI Clinic Australia is reviewed and authorised by an AHPRA-registered medical practitioner — the same standard as your local GP.
If you test positive, you do not get left alone with a notification. Our medical team personally reaches out to arrange a free telehealth consultation.
