New Patient Policy

If you wish to become a patient of the clinic, please speak to our friendly staff who will be able to advise you of our current appointment availability. Due to high demand, we currently offer appointments only to new patients from the following categories.

Category A: Prompt appointments as soon as possible are made for:

People Living with HIV and/or Hepatitis B who have recently moved to Victoria or do not currently have a doctor managing their HIV/Hepatitis B.
People in need of HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) or requiring acute STI management.
Children (under the age of 18) of existing patients.

Category B: Next available new patient appointments are made for:

Members of the LGBTIQA+ community.
People requiring sexual health care, or those with a referral from another doctor.
Partners of existing patients.
People with a residential address in North Fitzroy.

If you fit any of the criteria above, please contact our reception team who will confirm your eligibility category and advise on appointment availability. Please note that unfortunately, it is not always possible to offer new patient appointments for people in Category B, due to high demand and limited clinic capacity.
