Confidential STI testing and sexual health care for Mount Gravatt
Sexual health clinic checks cover STI screening, symptom assessment and treatment, all handled confidentially by our GPs. Whether you are after a routine check, have symptoms that are concerning you, or need follow-up after a previous result, we are here to help without judgement. Mount Gravatt students, young professionals and long-term locals can book a private appointment around study, work or family, and talk openly with a GP who won’t rush them.
With a large student population nearby, many of the Mount Gravatt patients we see are booking their first sexual health check or testing after a new relationship. Others are returning for routine screening, need advice on contraception or want reassurance after symptoms. Whatever the reason, your GP will tailor testing to your history, explain how samples are collected and start treatment on-site where appropriate. We can also discuss HPV and hepatitis B vaccination, PrEP referral pathways and partner notification in the same visit, so you leave with clear next steps rather than more questions.
In short: Carindale Doctors is a mixed billing general practice inside Westfield Carindale, around 15 minutes from Mount Gravatt. Our GPs provide confidential STI testing, symptom assessment, treatment and sexual health advice. Costs depend on your consultation and Medicare eligibility, results usually take a few days, and same-day appointments are available for urgent concerns.

Your local sexual health clinic team for Mount Gravatt
Mount Gravatt has one of the youngest populations on Brisbane’s southside, thanks to Griffith University’s Mt Gravatt campus and the many students, young professionals and couples renting in the area. That makes regular STI testing, contraception advice and HPV vaccination especially relevant, along with confidential support for people who are new to Brisbane and may not yet have a regular GP. Seeing a clinic outside the immediate campus area can also make it easier to book without worrying about running into classmates or colleagues.
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.

New relationships and student life: the sexual health risks we see from Mount Gravatt
Most sexual health concerns we see from Mount Gravatt patients are linked to life stage rather than a lack of services nearby. These come up most often:
- Infections without symptoms: chlamydia and gonorrhoea are most common in people under 30 and often cause no symptoms, so regular testing matters.
- New partners: student life and moving to a new city often mean new relationships, which is a good time for both partners to test.
- No regular GP: students and new arrivals may not know where to go, and put off testing until symptoms appear.
- Unsure about costs: international students and new arrivals are sometimes unsure what testing will cost and put off booking as a result.
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 Mount Gravatt 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.
