Australia's most common STI

Chlamydia rarely causes symptoms. Testing is the only way to know.

Chlamydia is Australia's most commonly diagnosed STI, and most people who have it never notice a thing — regular testing is the only way to know.

101,742

Chlamydia diagnoses across Australia in 2024, the country's most notified STI (Kirby Institute).

~1 in 2

Of 2024 diagnoses were among people aged 20 to 29.

Often no symptoms

Have no symptoms at all — testing is the only way to know.

How often should you actually be getting tested?

Better Health Channel recommends annual testing for sexually active people, especially those under 25, with more frequent testing if you regularly change partners.

It's been a while since your last check

Annual testing is recommended for all sexually active people, especially those under 25. If it's been over a year, it's worth checking.

New partner, or between partners

Testing before and after a new sexual relationship gives both of you clarity, especially since chlamydia often has no symptoms.

You change partners regularly

If you have multiple or frequently changing sexual partners, health guidelines recommend testing more often than once a year.

You've been treated before

A follow-up test around 3 months after treatment is recommended to check the infection has cleared and you haven't been reinfected.

Chlamydia is easily treated once it's found, but almost impossible to catch without regular testing.

Who it's for

Here's who should be getting tested regularly.

Outcome-driven reasons to check for chlamydia. Each one is a real, common situation, not a worst-case scenario.

It's been over a year since your last check

Annual testing is recommended for all sexually active people, especially those under 25. If you can't remember your last test, it's time.

Starting a new relationship

Testing before you and a new partner stop using condoms gives you both a clear, current picture, especially since chlamydia often has no symptoms.

You change partners regularly

Health guidelines recommend testing more often than once a year if you have multiple or frequently changing sexual partners.

You've been treated for chlamydia before

A follow-up test around 3 months after treatment checks that the infection has cleared and you haven't been reinfected.

Wanting a full sexual health picture, not just one infection

The Standard and Full STI Test panels check chlamydia alongside gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV (and hepatitis B/C in the Full panel), in one visit.

Wanting a private, no-GP option

No appointment, no waiting room conversation, no Medicare claim. Purchase online, walk in, get your results privately.

Yes. You purchase your test online, there's no GP visit and no Medicare claim, and your results are delivered privately to you as a secure PDF report. Nothing appears on a Medicare or GP record.
Chlamydia is tested with a urine sample, using PCR technology to detect the bacteria directly. It's a straightforward test that doesn't require a swab for most people.
Most people with chlamydia have no symptoms at all, which is why it's often called a silent infection, per Better Health Channel (Victoria). Testing is the only reliable way to know your status, regardless of whether you notice symptoms.
Chlamydia testing is offered as part of a broader STI panel rather than as a single test, since sexual health guidelines generally recommend checking for chlamydia alongside other common STIs at the same time. MediTests offers two options: the Standard STI Test ($165) screens for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and HIV, and the Full STI Test ($199) adds hepatitis B and C for six infections in total.
Better Health Channel recommends annual testing for sexually active people, especially those under 25, with more frequent testing recommended for anyone who changes sexual partners often. If you've been treated for chlamydia, a follow-up test around 3 months later is recommended to check for reinfection.
Results are typically delivered to your inbox within 24 to 48 hours of your sample being collected, as a secure PDF report.

Understanding Chlamydia Testing

A complete guide to chlamydia testing in Australia

An overview of how chlamydia testing works, why it's often symptomless, and what your result means. Written for Australians considering a private chlamydia test.

How does chlamydia testing work?

Chlamydia (caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis) is tested at MediTests using a urine sample analysed with PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology, which detects the bacteria's genetic material directly. It's a straightforward test that doesn't require a swab for most people, and results are reported simply as "not detected" or "detected".

Chlamydia is often called a silent infection because most people who have it show no symptoms at all, per Better Health Channel (Victoria). That's why testing, rather than waiting for symptoms, is the only reliable way to know your status.

In Australia, the Kirby Institute recorded 101,742 chlamydia diagnoses in 2024, making it the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmissible infection in the country. Roughly half of all diagnoses are in people aged 20 to 29. Regular testing is what catches these mostly symptomless infections early.

Why is chlamydia tested alongside other STIs?

MediTests doesn't sell chlamydia as a standalone test. Instead, it's included in two broader panels:

  • Standard STI Test ($165). Screens for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and HIV in one blood and urine panel.
  • Full STI Test ($199). Everything in the Standard panel, plus hepatitis B and C, for six infections in total.

This reflects how sexual health testing is generally approached: because these infections share transmission routes and many risk factors overlap, checking for chlamydia in isolation would miss the broader picture. Testing everything relevant in one panel and one visit is simpler and more cost-effective than ordering tests one at a time.

Understanding your chlamydia result

A chlamydia PCR test reports one of two possible results:

Result What it means Next step
Negative (not detected) No chlamydia DNA found in the sample No further action, continue routine annual testing
Positive (detected) Chlamydia DNA found in the sample Treatment required, retest around 3 months later

Because chlamydia is usually asymptomatic, a "not detected" result shouldn't be taken as a reason to stop testing regularly, and a "detected" result isn't something you'd necessarily have expected from symptoms alone. Your report will explain what your result means and any recommended next steps.

Who should consider a chlamydia test?

Chlamydia testing is recommended for the following groups:

  • All sexually active people under 25, annually. Better Health Channel recommends yearly testing for this group given how common chlamydia is in this age bracket.
  • Anyone who changes sexual partners regularly. More frequent testing is recommended the more often partners change.
  • Anyone starting a new relationship. Testing before dropping condoms with a new partner gives both people a current, informed picture, especially since chlamydia rarely causes symptoms.
  • Anyone previously treated for chlamydia. A follow-up test around 3 months after treatment checks that the infection has cleared and screens for reinfection.
  • Anyone wanting a complete sexual health check. The Standard and Full STI Test panels cover chlamydia alongside the other most common STIs in one visit.

How the MediTests chlamydia test works

Chlamydia testing at MediTests is included in the Standard STI Test ($165) and Full STI Test ($199), both private, self-requested panels you can buy online without a GP referral.

The process is simple: you complete checkout online and immediately receive a pathology request to your inbox, you walk into any of the 3,300+ Healius collection centres across Australia, a urine (and for some markers, blood) sample is collected, and your results are typically delivered to your inbox within 24 to 48 hours.

The report includes your chlamydia result alongside every other infection in your chosen panel, each clearly labelled, with a plain-language explanation of what your results mean. The result is yours to share with your GP or partner, or keep privately for your own records.
