Anyone aged 18 and under or with a government concession or health care card will be bulk billed for doctor consultations and pay no out-of-pocket cost for reproductive and sexual health nurse consultations. In order to bulk bill an appointment its best to bring a Medicare card, but if you can’t get one, we may be able to help with that too.

The staff at our clinic specialise in sexual health – this means that all day, every day they’re helping people with sexual health matters, so they are great at making you feel relaxed and safe to talk about any issues or concerns.

If you just want to ask a question, you can also call us on our anonymous helpline or even email us shq.org.au/helpline.

The 2026 International Women's Day theme highlights the significant barriers to justice and human rights experienced by women and girls in Australia and worldwide, specifically low conviction rates in sexual assault cases, systemic discrimination, and challenges faced by First Nations women, including overrepresentation in the justice system and limited access to culturally safe legal support.

Balance the Scales reminds us that equality is not about advantage for some – it is about dignity, safety, and fairness for all.

This course helps counsellors, psychologists, behaviour support practitioners, disability workers, and other professionals who support children and young people with disabilities distinguish between typical, concerning, and harmful behaviours; understand contributing factors; and implement interventions that are safe, ethical, and supportive.
