Drop-in pregnancy testing
Pregnancy testing is available at each SHine SA regional office, Monday to Friday from 9 am - 4.30 pm. You will be able to see a nurse or doctor as soon as one is available, but sometimes you may have to wait or return at a later time. You may also purchase a test to take home. You will need to bring an early morning urine sample for the test. The pregnancy test is $12.00 (negotiable).
At SHine SA you'll be treated with respect and receive quality health care at all times. For information about your rights as a client of SHine SA see the Client rights (PDF) leaflet.
