Wishart patients, including teenagers and young adults booking for the first time, can see one of our GPs confidentially, around 10 minutes from home.
In a settled family suburb like Wishart, we often see young people who are ready to take charge of their own health but aren’t sure how to book a confidential appointment, as well as adults who would rather not discuss sexual health with the GP who sees their whole family. Our GPs explain privacy and consent at the start of every visit, take a non-judgemental history and recommend testing based on your needs. Treatment can be started on-site where appropriate, and your GP can also discuss contraception, HPV vaccination and safer sex in the same appointment.

Trusted sexual health clinic care in Wishart
Wishart is a quiet, established suburb of family homes where many households have teenagers and young adults growing up alongside parents and grandparents. That family-centred lifestyle is a big part of the area’s appeal, but it can make sexual health a difficult topic to raise. Young people often want confidential advice on contraception and STI testing, while adults may prefer a clinic where they won’t run into the family GP. A discreet practice nearby gives every Wishart resident a comfortable place to get checked.
Your GP will ask about your symptoms, if any, your sexual health history, and what testing might be appropriate. This conversation is treated the same as any other medical consultation, confidential and without judgement. Testing might involve a urine sample, swab or blood test depending on what is being checked, and your GP will explain what is involved beforehand.

Growing up and staying private: sexual health concerns we see from Wishart
Many of the sexual health questions we hear from Wishart relate to young people and family privacy. These are the most common concerns:
- First sexual health checks: teenagers and young adults often don't know what testing involves or that they can book confidentially.
- Contraception and protection: young people need clear, judgement-free advice about contraception and preventing STIs.
- Family GP worries: adults sometimes avoid testing because they share a GP with their parents or children.
- Infections without symptoms: chlamydia and gonorrhoea are common in young people and often go unnoticed without testing.
If you have been in contact with someone with a diagnosed STI, mention this at booking so your GP can test and treat appropriately.
What your sexual health check can include
A sexual health check is tailored to your history and any symptoms, so no two appointments are exactly the same. Depending on your needs, your visit can include:
- Confidential consultation, a private conversation about your sexual health history, symptoms and any concerns.
- STI testing, urine, swab or blood tests for infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV and hepatitis.
- Symptom assessment, examination and diagnosis of discharge, pain, sores or other symptoms.
- Treatment on-site, antibiotics or other treatment started at the practice where appropriate.
- Results and follow-up, results discussed confidentially at a follow-up visit, with repeat testing if recommended.
- Prevention advice, HPV and hepatitis B vaccination, contraception and safer sex advice.
If treatment is needed, your GP will explain what is involved and whether your partner or partners should also be tested.
- Repeat testing scheduled if recommended
- Vaccination options discussed where relevant
- Contraceptive advice available at the same visit if useful
- Referral to a specialist service if needed
Sexual health checks are part of the confidential care we provide alongside contraceptive advice and general women’s and men’s health services.
How Carindale Doctors handles your sexual health check
We keep the process simple and private. Whether you’re coming in from Wishart for a routine screen or because something doesn’t feel right, every sexual health appointment follows the same four steps:
- Step 1, book your appointment: book a standard consultation and let reception know if you would prefer to discuss the reason for your visit privately rather than over the phone, which is completely fine.
- Step 2, talk it through: your GP asks about your history and any symptoms, then explains which tests are recommended and what they involve.
- Step 3, test and treat: samples are collected during your visit, and treatment is started on-site where appropriate.
- Step 4, results and follow-up: results are usually available within a few days, and your GP will discuss them with you at a follow-up appointment, including next steps for treatment if needed.
