Step 1: Information about you

Step 2: Information about the person to be notified

Please provide as much information as possible even if it's partial. This will influence the success of partners being notified.

There may be other ways to contact them discreetly. For example where this person studies or works, they may have a religious affiliation or belong to a community group.

Step 3: Information about the persons online profile/s

If we don’t have a person’s current phone, email or address we may be able to message them or find alternative contact details online.

Some people may not use their real name online.

When there’s limited information this may help us confirm we’re notifying the right person.

This will enable us to narrow our online search to specific groups.

This enables us to correctly identify the person to be notified.

A statement on contact tracing

A statement on contact tracing from Australian STI Management Guidelines

The diagnosing clinician is responsible for initiating contact tracing for STIs, and blood borne viruses (BBVs). Public health units in Australia do not routinely contact trace all notifiable infections. A clinician can support a client to perform their own contact tracing or offer to perform it on the patient’s behalf or, in complex situations, refer the patient to specialist contact tracing support” in NSW this is NSW Sexual Health Infolink (SHIL).
