Are you overdue for an STI check? Starting Wednesday 19 October, we are running STI drop-in clinics at our Launceston Family Planning Tasmania clinic on Wednesdays 2:30pm - 4:30pm. This means you don't have to have an appointment, just drop in to 93 Paterson Street, Launceston. We recommend STI testing every 6-12 months, or after every instance of unprotected sex.

At Family Planning Tasmania, we're very lucky to have four new registrars in our clinics around the state. We're excited to introduce you to Dr Jo, who is based at Glenorchy. Hear from the wonderful Dr Jo herself below.
"Women's and sexual health is important to me, as a woman! A lot of the patients I see in general practice are women, and being able to provide them with quality, up-to-date information and care are really useful for my practice. I enjoy the procedural side of things at Family Planning as well. I also really enjoy the diversity of patients at Family Planning - we see clients from all over Southern Tasmania, and from all backgrounds. No two patients are alike!"
"I am 31 and am so happy to call Nipaluna home. I studied zoology at the University of Melbourne but found it wasn't to my liking and was very happy to be accepted to the medical program at Sydney University. I finished my studies in Sydney and worked in local hospitals for a couple of years before deciding to move to Darwin. I loved living in Darwin and found working there very interesting, but had always loved Tassie and decided to give the heat and humidity a miss, and moved here in 2020. I now live in the Channel with my husband and beautiful kelpie puppy. I really enjoy the diversity, continuity and connection of GP work and will complete my training in early 2023.
"I'm lucky to be only working 3 days a week, so I have lots of time outside work! I Spend a lot of that time training and walking my dog, Lola. She's approaching 2 years old and has been pretty wild until recently, so she's taken up a lot of my time. Luckily, I really love walking and the beach - her two favourite things! I also try to dabble in watercolour and gouache painting, but only for relaxation and joy - the end product is usually destined for the bin!
