Grampians Health has opened a Sexual and Reproductive Health (SARH) Hub each in Stawell and Horsham, further improving access to specialised care for regional communities.
The hubs, located in Alan Wolff Medical Centre in Horsham and at Stawell Medical Centre in Stawell, provide accessible and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services to all people in our community, including women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals.
The clinics will provide a range of nurse-led services including sexual health education, menstrual health and menopause education, population health screening such as cervical screening tests, contraceptive counselling, prevention, testing and management of sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy options counselling, and pathways for medical and surgical abortion of pregnancy.
“Through these hubs, we aim to provide equitable, high-quality care and reduce the gaps in health and wellbeing of women, girls and all gender-diverse in the regional communities,” said Ben Kelly, Chief Operating Officer, Grampians Health.
“We understand that there is a rising need for sexual and reproductive care options in the region and Grampians Health is committed to providing accessible and comprehensive specialist care to our communities. This initiative is also a testament to our ongoing efforts to improve care options in regional Victoria, ensuring that all individuals have access to the health services they need, close to home.”
