YOUTH HEALTH
Providing primary health care for young people
Appointments available with GPs and nurse practitioners
The Junction has general practitioners who provide all aspects of primary health care. We have a particular focus on sexual health, mental health, baby and early childhood health checks, antenatal shared care and health education.
The nurse practitioner can prescribe medication for acute illnesses, continuing prescriptions for ongoing illnesses, STI and cervical screenings, and referrals. You can schedule an appointment with the nurse practitioner without seeing another general practitioner first.
We also have practice nurses who triages patients and facilitates pregnancy tests, ECGs, spirometry and immunisations under the direction of the clinical team.
To make an appointment, please call us on (02) 6232 2423.
Our opening hours are 9.30am - 5.00pm Monday - Friday.
YOUTH WORK + OUTREACH
