Canberra Sexual Health Centre (CSHC) is based at The Canberra Hospital.

We have a strong philosophy of teamwork, evidence-based practice and continuing professional development, which is supported by a weekly in-service program.

The sexual health medicine registrar works under specialist supervision and provides clinical care to patients with a diverse range of sexual and gender health and HIV related conditions and concerns. They will be required to respond to GP enquiries and provide occasional inpatient consultation. There are opportunities to undertake Hepatitis B and C as well as HIV prescriber (S100) training and gain experience in transgender and gender diverse care, non-forensic sexual assault care and public health aspects of sexual health medicine. Participation in teaching and research is encouraged. The clinic is an RACP accredited site for advanced training in sexual health medicine.

There is some weekday extended hours work to 8:00pm. Sexual health registrars are not rostered to respond to calls after hours (evenings or weekends), which makes this training position life-style friendly.
