For NSW General Practice: Sexual health
Young people experience higher rates of sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and lower screening rates than the general population in Australia.
General practitioners (GPs) are the main provider of STI care in NSW and play a key role in sexual health promotion for young people. Making your practice more youth friendly will help you enhance your connection with the local youth community and engage new patients.
This checklist is for practice managers, GPs and other staff working in primary health care settings to plan how to improve health services for young people by making them more youth friendly.
