STI testing doesn’t have to be scary.

Staying lubly means taking care of our sexual health, getting tested, and talking about our sexual health.

When you take control of your sexual health, you’re making a powerful choice for yourself and your community, plus it’s easy to get tested!

Sexual health is an important part of our lives and wellbeing.

The ‘Stay Lubly, Get Tested’ campaign encourages everyone to protect themselves and their community against STIs through safer sex.

Why should I get an STI test?

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) often have no symptoms, but if left untreated, they can lead to serious health issues.

For example, syphilis is an STI on the rise in South Australia, and it can have significant health consequences, including harm to babies during pregnancy.

Regular STI testing and using condoms are simple and effective ways to look after your sexual health and prevent the spread of infections.

Getting a test is good for you, your sexual partner/s, and the wellbeing of your community.

Facts about STI testing

• STI testing is easy. Usually, you’ll only need to pee in a cup or do your own swab in private.
• STIs are super common! There’s no need to be embarrassed. Health workers have heard it all before, and it’s their role to be non-judgmental and confidential.
• Most STIs are easy to treat.

Book your appointment with Sally

To book your STI test you can call or text Sally on 0436 482 205.

Phoenix James has formally advised the Nunkuwarrin Yunti Board of Directors of his intention to step down as CEO effective immediately. We would like to thank Phoenix for his dedicated service over the past 10 months, including 4 months as Acting Executive, Corporate Services and 7 months as Acting CEO. We wish him all the best for the future.

Deputy Chairperson, Ken Tilbrook, has been appointed as the Acting CEO to lead Nunkuwarrin Yunti during this transition period. Ken has been on the Board of Directors for nearly 10 years and brings a wealth of experience. He has been closely involved with the Redress scheme in the past and was also a part of the Royal Commission into Abuse and Government Care.

“I am honoured to lead Nunkuwarrin Yunti during this transition period,” said Ken. ” Our shared goal is to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and by working together, we can continue to make a significant impact in our community.”

A national recruitment process for a permanent CEO will commence shortly.
