Time to Test

Join us for Time to Test Day, where taking care of your sexual health is a 'pun'ch above the rest!

We're here to help you stay 'positive' that you're in the clear. Join us on Time to Test Day for free, confidential STI testing and educational resources—because 'ignorance is bliss' is one saying that doesn’t apply here!

Our 'test'-tacular team will be on hand to answer all your questions and provide support. Whether you're looking for 'peace of mind' or just want to 'get to the bottom' of things, we’ve got you covered. Plus, enjoy freebies and fun giveaways as a bonus for taking this important step. Remember, safe is always 'sexy'. Everyone is welcome!

Getting STI tested couldn't be easier! If you're sexually active, even if you're with the same partner, you're best to get a test every 6 to 12 months to stay in tip top shape.

The details

  • Get tested for free: Get a free, on-the-spot sexually transmitted infection (STI) test done. No need to book a doctor's appointment to get tested. We're here to look out for you and encourage you get this done on the day!
  • Everyone's welcome: Regular STI testing is recommended at least once a year if you're sexually active, and every three months if you are a gay or bisexual man who has sex with men. No matter where you're at, getting tested is for everyone.
  • Bring this: Bring your Medicare or Overseas Health Cover card and your zID number for a smooth process.
  • The fun stuff: We've got a few fun games up our sleeve, plus win some great prizes.

Can't make it? We have multiple options for you, available any time of the year, including UNSW Health Service's STI Clinic, CASI the self-testing kiosk for all men, and MyTest, with free HIV-self test kits. 

This event is brought to you as part of UNSW's annual festival of celebrating, questioning and exploring every aspect of sex and relationships. To learn more about SEXtember, check our website out here.
