Looking for the UNSW Medical Clinic? The university’s official on-campus service is called UNSW Health Service. It provides GP and health support for UNSW students, staff and the broader community, with face-to-face and telehealth appointments, vaccinations, sexual health care, mental health support, chronic-condition management and other primary-care services.
What is the UNSW Medical Clinic?
The UNSW Health Service is the on-campus general medical service at UNSW Sydney. It provides confidential healthcare for students, staff and members of the broader community. The current service information says patients can access experienced doctors for general health concerns as well as a range of specific medical needs.
The service is appointment-based rather than a general walk-in clinic. UNSW says it aims to retain some same-day appointments according to clinical need, but same-day availability is not guaranteed.

These are the current opening hours published by UNSW. Appointment availability can differ from the general service opening hours, so calling ahead is recommended.

Doctors at UNSW Medical Clinic
The official service describes a team of experienced doctors and health professionals rather than presenting the clinic as a single-doctor practice. Current UNSW information lists doctors able to assist with general medical concerns, mental health, sexual health, injuries, vaccinations, contraception, skin checks, Implanon and IUD procedures, iron infusions and other primary-care needs.
Because doctor availability and individual appointment schedules can change, use the official booking system or call the service if you need a specific doctor or appointment type.
