Free STI Testing & Treatment Online

Yes — Bulk-billing (free consultations and pathology referrals) is available for Medicare card holders, ideal for privacy concerns or limited local access. Private fee options are available if you’re do not have Medicare. See our pricing page or MBS item 92718 for rebate details.

It’s fast, secure, and fully telehealth-based: Book online (appointments often within 15 minutes), consult via video or phone with an AHPRA-registered Australian doctor, receive a bulk-billed pathology referral (urine, swab, blood) for your local lab, get results in 2–3 business days via text, and book follow-up for discussion, advice, electronic prescriptions, or referrals if needed. Contact reception if no update.

Typically 2–3 business days from the pathology lab. Your Teldoc doctor reviews them and contacts you via text to discuss results and next steps, including treatment if appropriate.

Yes, completely — All sessions use secure, encrypted platforms, and results are handled strictly per Australian privacy laws (Privacy Act). No sharing without your consent.

Common ones include chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes (HSV), trichomoniasis, mycoplasma, bacterial vaginosis, and HIV screening. We follow Australian STI management guidelines (ASHM/Dept of Health) for testing and referrals.

Yes — For common bacterial STIs (e.g., chlamydia, trichomoniasis) or herpes, doctors issue electronic prescriptions (eScripts) if clinically appropriate, plus guidance on reinfection prevention and partner notification/contact tracing. For syphilis, HIV, or hepatitis B, we provide advice and specialist referrals.

Usually no — Most screening, result discussions, and treatments are managed entirely online. In-person care may be required for severe symptoms (e.g., heavy pain, bleeding) or specific procedures—your doctor will refer you promptly if needed.

It depends on your risks: Every 6–12 months for most sexually active people; every 3 months for higher-risk groups (e.g., men who have sex with men, multiple partners). Your Teldoc doctor provides personalized advice based on your history.

Yes — Partners can book their own confidential consultations. We offer guidance on partner notification (e.g., for chlamydia/gonorrhoea) to prevent reinfection.

Yes — Doctors assess your risk confidentially and can issue electronic prescriptions for PrEP (pre-exposure) or PEP (post-exposure) if appropriate, or refer to specialists/services.

Yes — We use the same accredited Australian pathology labs (e.g., urine, blood, swabs). Telehealth handles the referral and result interpretation—accuracy matches standard care when following guidelines.

Yes, for most cases — Discuss any symptoms (e.g., discharge, pain, sores) in your consult for a tailored plan. Severe or urgent symptoms may need in-person referral—mention them upfront.

Easy and secure — If appropriate, your doctor sends an eScript directly to your phone/email or chosen pharmacy for same-day pickup—no paper required.

Your doctor contacts you quickly to explain results, start treatment (e.g., antibiotics via eScript), advise on partner notification, and prevent complications or reinfection.

Absolutely — Many STIs show no symptoms, so routine screening is essential. The process is the same as for symptomatic care—book for peace of mind.
