Sexually transmissible infections - where to go for help
Page content : Where can I go for advice | Metropolitan services | Rural services
Where can I go for advice and what does it cost?
You should go to see your regular doctor if you feel able to talk freely with them. Because STIs are common, doctors deal with STIs on a regular basis. Normal medical charges and rebates will apply. If you feel uncomfortable about seeing your regular doctor about an STI, phone the information service provided by:
