The Albion Centre

What The Albion Centre does

The Albion Centre is an interdisciplinary public health care facility headquartered at 150 Albion Street, Surry Hills, Sydney, Australia, operating as part of NSW Health's South Eastern Sydney Local Health District. It is recognized as Australia's only major interdisciplinary centre with a primary focus on HIV management and Australia's largest HIV ambulatory care centre, delivering free and confidential specialist care to people living with HIV, individuals at high risk of HIV, the transgender and gender diverse community, people living with Hepatitis B/C, and culturally and linguistically diverse populations for over 25 years. The centre's scale is built around 60+ professional staff and 130+ volunteers.

The centre operates an integrated clinical stack combining medical, nursing, psychology, pharmacy (including antiretroviral therapy and Hepatitis C antivirals under the PBS Highly Specialised Drugs Program), and nutrition services, supported by an electronic medical record (eMR) system and point-of-care HIV testing. The service portfolio spans HIV Management, sexual health screening, the dedicated T150 service for the transgender and gender diverse community, Hepatitis C treatment, free PrEP and 28-day PEP, the ACTIVATE exercise and nutrition program, the Nursing-run Pharmacy, and the Ankali Project volunteer peer support service. Telephone-based reach is statewide through the NSW HIV Information Line and the Blood and Body Fluid Exposure Information Service, with telehealth links for GPs.

The Albion Centre is not a commercial enterprise; it is publicly funded through NSW Health and provides all services at no charge to both Medicare and non-Medicare patients. Its international dimension is anchored by WHO Collaborating Centre status (designated 2006, redesignated 2010 and 2014) — one of only eight globally with a specific HIV focus — supporting technical assistance, normative guidance, and WHO Fellowships in partnership with the World Food Programme, World Bank, and other international health bodies.
