About Us

Roidsafe is an online telehealth clinic providing pathology referrals. We are powered by Hyphen Health, specialising in digital health platforms. By taking location out of the equation and providing a safe confidential space for people to investigate issues they may not feel comfortable visiting a GP to talk about, Hyphen Health welcomes everyone and encourages good health. Hyphen Health is revolutionising the way we think about healthcare. Hyphen Health and Roidsafe are passionate about making healthcare more accessible.  

Founded in 2015 by a former-restaurateur and a doctor, Hyphen Health is innovating new Australian healthcare solutions. James Sneddon (the entrepreneur) and Dr Mitchell Tanner (the GP) share an interest in removing the barriers stopping people from accessing healthcare. Their ground-breaking sexual health testing platform, Stigma Health, has proven Hyphen Health’s reputation as leaders in telehealth and confidential online healthcare. This trailblazing online service has received widespread media buzz, including PedestrianTV & Vogue. Roidsafe is the newest platform launched by Hyphen Health and is already a game-changer.   

James Sneddon and Dr. Mitchell Tanner aim to revolutionise the healthcare industry and believe strongly in the power of new technology for the greater good. There are many reasons why people don’t seek out the medical tests they should – these range from financial, limited medical resources in a region to the stigma attached with some presenting issues. The dynamic duo seeks to tackle all of these barriers to healthcare so that every Australian feels comfortable to get the tests they need, when they need them.

Co-founder, The Medical Director & General Practitioner.

The Internet has changed the way we do so many everyday things and as a doctor I’m excited to see the potential it holds for healthcare. By making simple medical testing easier, it has the ability to ensure people get tested for things they should be, but may not be, more regularly. 

Steroid testing is a medical process that translates perfectly to this medium and as it is such a big issue and one that people feel nervous about discussing with their GP. It is ideal for an  online healthcare service. 

Although it is a very new way of doing things, it is undoubtedly the way of the future. I believe so strongly in this that I am proud to put my name to Hyphen Health, Stigma Health and Roidsafe and I’m excited to see where we can take the concept and how we can use the convenience and privacy of the Internet to improve people’s health.
