Referrals

HNE Sexual Health is a specialist sexual health and HIV service. We provide STI and HIV care and support by appointment and walk-in.

While priority is given to patients who are symptomatic and from high risk groups (priority populations) we accept referrals from other health professionals.

All consultations and pathology are free of charge regardless of Medicare status.

Health professionals who would like to refer a patient are encouraged to sent a referral using SeNT or fax to (02) 4923 6576 for Newcastle and Taree or (02) 6766 6835 for Tamworth.

For referral information please see Health Pathways Sexual Health Specialist Assessment
