Browse this guide

Fountain Gate Secondary College is one of many secondary schools in Melbourne’s south-east suburbs providing the Doctors in Secondary Schools (DiSS) program to their students.  

Each Tuesday during the school term, we have a Nurse and Doctor from Headspace Youth Health Clinic available to assist with information and/or advice about any health issues, including:

  • Physical health and wellbeing
  • Body image
  • Healthy eating and exercise
  • Sexual health, including contraception, STIs, and pregnancy testing
  • Gender and sexuality/LGBTIQ+
  • Drug or alcohol use
  • Relationships issues
  • Feeling scared, worried, upset, or down

This is a free service available to FGSC students, with consultations being bulk billed through Medicare.

To make a booking, please visit Ms Kerry (Wellbeing Coordinator) in the Wellbeing Centre, or send her a message via MS Teams. 

Students can also drop into the Doctor's Office (located behind the gym, next to Q1) at recess or lunch on Tuesdays between 1:10 pm and 1:30 pm, without an appointment.
