Latest Info |
Sexual Health Certificates...
We have had a few enquiries from workers who think that they can only get their sexual health check and Sexual Health Certificate from a doctor at a Sexual Health clinic. This is NOT the case ....you can ask any doctor you are comfortable with to do your sexual health check and sign the Sexual Health Certificate. The important thing is that they download the "Sexual Health Check - Certificate of Attendance" document from the Queensland Health website (cert_of_attend.pdf).
