Looking after your sexual health is an important part of looking after your overall health. At Coomera Town Medical Centre, we provide confidential, non-judgemental sexual health care and STI testing in a safe and respectful setting. We are conveniently located inside Westfield Coomera and open 7 days a week.
Whether you would like a routine check, STI testing, contraception advice or to discuss a concern, our doctors are here to help with discretion and care.
Confidential, Non-Judgemental Sexual Health Care
We understand that sexual health can feel like a sensitive subject. Our team provides a private, respectful and judgement-free environment where you can talk openly. There is no need to feel embarrassed. These are common and important health matters, and we are here to support you.
Why Sexual Health Checks Matter
Many sexually transmitted infections have no obvious symptoms, which means a person can have one without knowing. Regular sexual health checks help with early detection and treatment, protect your health and the health of your partners, and provide peace of mind. Looking after your sexual health is a normal and responsible part of overall wellbeing.

When Should You Get Tested?
It may be worth booking a sexual health check if you:
- Have a new partner or more than one partner
- Have had unprotected sex

- Are starting a new relationship and would like reassurance
- Have not had a sexual health check in some time
- Have been advised by a partner that testing is recommended
If you are unsure, our team can advise what is appropriate for you. Testing is straightforward and confidential.
What Does an STI Test Involve?
STI testing is simple and depends on what is being checked. It may involve a urine sample, a blood test, or a swab. Many tests are quick and not uncomfortable. Your doctor will explain exactly what is involved, which tests are recommended for you, and how and when you will receive your results.
Your Privacy and Confidentiality
Your privacy is taken seriously. Sexual health consultations are confidential and handled with discretion, in line with our privacy and confidentiality policy and the Australian Privacy Principles. Your doctor will explain how your information is managed and answer any questions you have about confidentiality.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
At your appointment, your doctor will ask some questions to understand your situation and what testing or advice may help. Any examinations or tests are explained clearly and only carried out with your consent. There is no judgement, just professional, caring support. Your doctor will also explain the results process and any follow-up that may be needed.
