What we can help with

Talking about sexual and reproductive health can sometimes be uncomfortable for a number of reasons. Our female Youth and Women's Health Nurses offer a confidential and non-judgemental space to provide information and services that look after you as a whole person. They can also link you in with our GPs and other IPC Health services that can help so you get wraparound care in the one place.

Our Sexual and Reproductive Health Hub is available to people who identify as women, people with a cervix and young people aged from 12 to 25 years from our Deer Park and Wyndham Vale campuses.

In addition to the Hub, our Women’s Health Clinics also run weekly at these campuses:

• Altona Meadows
• Hoppers Crossing
• St Albans
• Sunshine

At all of our campuses, our nurses can support you with respectful and culturally safe services including:
