Emergency and after-hours treatment
If you need to visit a doctor outside of normal business hours, see our emergency and after-hours medical contacts.
Under some circumstances, doctors can make home visits on weekends and after-hours. If you think you require a home visit, you should discuss this with your doctor.
Test results and reminders
It’s your responsibility to follow up on your test results, so make sure you discuss how you’d like to receive them with your doctor.
If your test results are abnormal, or we have any concerns, we’ll send you an SMS or email (so make sure we always have your current contact details). If this happens, you’ll need to either respond, or book a follow up visit (or telehealth consultation) with your doctor as soon as possible.
We’ll also place you on a reminder system to help you manage routine health requirements, including vaccinations and screening tests. If you’d prefer not to be on the reminder system, just let your doctor know.
Free international student health check
International students at Monash can now get free, confidential 30-minute health checks with a nurse, in person or via teleconference (phone or video).
To succeed in your studies, it’s critical to keep on top of your physical and emotional health.
You can discuss:
- eating, exercise and sleeping
- mental health
- sexual health
- how to access health services in Australia.
During your appointment, a nurse will review your health and wellbeing. They’ll will ask you questions about your health history, as well as check your blood pressure and body mass index (BMI). Also, they can help you make an appointment with a doctor or counsellor if needed.
Book an appointment online by selecting a time for the International Student Health Check. Or phone 9903 1177 for an appointment.
Sexual health
We provide a safe and confidential space for you to discuss your sexual health needs and concerns. Our doctors and nurses are highly professional and experienced in working with patients to address their concerns.
If you have a sexual health query or problem, you can check our sexual health resources or book an appointment (or telehealth consultation).
