Sydney Sexual Health Centre

Directions Website

Sydney Sexual Health Centre Sydney Sexual Health Centre (SSHC) is the oldest sexual health service in NSW, operating since 1933. You don't need a Medicare card to visit us.

We are a busy centre offering testing, treatment and management for sexually transmissible infections (STI) and HIV. If you think you might have been at risk for an STI or HIV, you can do our online risk assessment Am I OK? This will help us work out if we are the best place to meet your needs. We'll ask you a few questions about your recent sexual activity and at the end, we'll tell you what to do next. We primarily deliver services to people in some priority groups, so if you see yourself as belonging to any of these, then SSHC is the place for you. These priority groups include:

People living with HIV
Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men
Sex workers
Aboriginal people
People who inject drugs
Young people

We run the Satellite clinic, a walk-in youth sexual health service on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, in partnership with headspace at Bondi Junction. We offer fast, free and confidential HIV and STI testing for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men at a[TEST] Oxford Street and Surry Hills in partnership with ACON. We have sexual health specialist doctors, nurses, counsellors, health promotion officers, researchers and administrative staff. If you have a Medicare card and are happy to use it, please bring it with you, but you can still come if you don't have one. For more information, visit: https://www.sshc.org.au/

What does the ‘I’ in LGBTIQ+ mean? 💛💜

I stands for inters*x.

Inters*x people are born with variations in their s*x characteristics that are different from typical female or male bodies. There are at least 40 known variations.

Inters*x is not a s*xual orientation or gender identity.

This Inters*x Awareness Day, let’s learn more and celebrate greater understanding and respect.

What are your pronouns? 💬

He/him, she/her, they/them or other pronouns? Pronouns are words we use to refer to someone when we’re not using their name.

We can’t always know someone’s gender or pronouns by looking at them. Sharing your pronouns when introducing yourself can help create a more welcoming and respectful space.

This International Pronouns Day, let’s remember that using someone’s correct pronouns is a simple way to show respect, in healthcare and in everyday life.

How many contraception options can you name? 👀

From condoms and the pill to implants and IUDs, there are many contraception options, and what works for one person may not work for another.

When choosing contraceptive method, you might think about convenience, hormones, how long it lasts and whether it helps protect against STIs.

This , learn about your options and talk to a healthcare professional about what might suit you.

Bis*xual Visibility Day celebrates bi+ history, community and culture, while recognising that bi+ people can still experience invisibility, stigma and assumptions about their identity.

New Australian research from the Bi+ S*xual Health and HIV (BiSHH) study shares the diverse s*xual health experiences of more than 2,100 bi+ people and highlights opportunities to make s*xual health services more welcoming and inclusive.

In our s*xual health services, we want everyone to feel safe, respected and included.
