The Sexual and Reproductive Health Hub in Kyneton provides much-needed access to free Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) clinical services and information in a locally established, supportive and confidential environment.

It is staffed by experienced SRH Nurses, partnering with GPs, Nurse Practitioners, Advanced Practice Nurses and Specialist services. Thanks to state funding, training and development opportunities for health professionals have been provided with several GPs and Nurses upskilling in this important area.

The services include:

• Sexual health education: Screening, and management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and blood-borne viruses, as well as cervical screening tests with options for self-collection or clinician collection.
• Contraception services: Providing information and counselling on all methods to prevent pregnancy, implant insertion and removal, IUD insertion and removal, post-insertion checkups, and emergency contraception.
• Reproductive health care: Pregnancy testing, pregnancy options counselling, and supported access and referral to services covering both medical and surgical termination of pregnancy, as well as follow-up care.

Our service is for people from any geographical location within Victoria requiring sexual & reproductive health services including:

• Women, girls and anyone assigned female at birth regardless of their gender identity
• Young people of any gender under the age of 25

In late June, Kyneton Health was selected as one of the final six Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Hubs in Victoria joining the current network of 14 hubs that are already delivering free or low-cost care.
