Can You Get an STI Test or Treatment at a Pharmacy in Australia?

What an Australian pharmacy can and can't do for your sexual health in 2026: HIV self-tests, the suspended chlamydia self-test, why there's no over-the-counter STI treatment, UTI services, emergency contraception, and PEP and PrEP scripts.

What is STI Doctor and how does it work?

STI Doctor is a discreet Australian telehealth service offering bulk-billed (no out-of-pocket cost with Medicare) online consultations for STI testing and treatment. Book a quick video or phone consult with an AHPRA-registered doctor, get assessed, arrange pathology referrals if needed, or receive prescriptions for treatable STIs—all from home, Australia-wide.

Is the consultation bulk-billed?

Yes—sexual health consultations are bulk-billed with a valid Medicare card (no gap fee). This covers the telehealth appointment, advice, and prescriptions where appropriate. Pathology testing for standard STI testing is also bulk billed. Erectile dysfunction consultations are private ($55 weekdays / $75 weekends and public holidays), with no Medicare rebate.

How much does it cost if I don’t have Medicare?

Consultations are $55 on weekdays and $75 on weekends and public holidays. The pathology lab may also charge for tests. With a valid Medicare card, sexual health consultations are bulk billed. Erectile dysfunction consultations are private at these fees, with or without Medicare, and no Medicare rebate applies. See our fees for details.

How quickly can I speak to a doctor?

Same-day appointments are usually available during opening hours (Mon–Sun, 9 AM–7 PM Sydney time). It’s fast, private, and no waiting room required.

Do I need to visit a clinic for STI testing or treatment?

Most common conditions can be safely managed discreetly online. For testing, your doctor provides a pathology request form (you visit a local collection center if needed). For treatment (e.g., chlamydia, bacterial vaginosis, genital herpes), prescriptions are sent electronically—no physical visit necessary. Some conditions may require more complex treatment and we can arrange referral to in person clinics when required.

What STIs can be tested or treated through STI Doctor?

We test for and treat the common STIs: chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B and C, genital herpes, genital warts, trichomoniasis, Mycoplasma genitalium, bacterial vaginosis and thrush. Your doctor recommends the right tests based on your situation, and one pathology request covers them all. Some conditions need an examination, an injection or specialist care, and we can arrange the referral. See what a full STI check includes.

Is my information private and confidential?

Yes. Your consultations are confidential and protected under Australian privacy laws. We use secure telehealth platforms, and our doctors are bound by AHPRA standards. We don’t share your details without your consent, except where the law requires it: for example, some STIs must be reported to the public health unit, which keeps that information confidential.

How often should I get tested for STIs?

If you’re sexually active, a check-up at least once a year is a good idea, and whenever you have a new partner. Gay and bisexual men with multiple partners and people on PrEP are usually advised to test every 3 months. Your doctor can tailor this to you. Regular testing is key, even without symptoms, as many STIs are asymptomatic.

Can I get treatment for STIs like chlamydia or herpes online?

Yes—for many treatable STIs (e.g., chlamydia with antibiotics, herpes with antivirals), our doctors can assess you online and provide prescriptions if clinically appropriate. No in-person exam needed in most cases.

What if I have symptoms or think I’ve been exposed?

Book a consult right away—our doctors can guide you on next steps, including urgent testing or PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis for HIV if within 72 hours). Early action is important.

Do you offer PEP or PrEP services?

Yes. Our doctors prescribe PEP (emergency HIV prevention after a possible exposure), PrEP (ongoing HIV prevention) and Doxy-PEP, where clinically appropriate. Time is critical for PEP—start within 72 hours.

Is STI Doctor available Australia-wide?

Yes—100% online service for anyone in Australia. Consults are bulk billed for Medicare card holders, and a private fee applies without Medicare. No matter your location (Sydney, Melbourne, rural areas, etc.), you can access care discreetly.

How do I book an appointment?

Simply click “Book Now,” and follow the easy steps. No referral needed. Have your Medicare card handy if you have one; without Medicare, a private fee applies.
