Clinics in Cairns
At your discreet STD testing appointment in Cairns, you will be seen by a qualified phlebotomist (someone trained in taking blood). They will collect your samples and send them to our accredited laboratory to be analysed. Depending on which STI test or screen you select, your results may be back as early as one working day after your sample arrives at our laboratory. Results are reported securely online, and we will contact you personally as soon as they are all ready. We have private collection centres across Cairns, including in Manoora, Smithfield, Edmonton, and Kewarra Beach.
