In 2010, there were nearly 1000 positive chlamydia tests in Rockingham and Kwinana, according to the WA review of modifiable diseases 2011.
Only 44 percent of local women between the ages of 18 and 69 had a pap smear, which is the leading measure for detecting cervical cancer.
Mrs Nielsen said the clinic was ideal for women who felt embarrassed to see their GP about STIs and more comfortable with a female nurse.
‘The clinic caters for women of all ages and bulk bills,’ she said.
The clinic has a professional team of doctors, registered midwifes, sexual health nurses, a lactation and postnatal care consultant, and a midwife.
