How to Access Care During the Holiday Season
There are a range of organisations that provide care for patients during holiday periods. These include:
- emergency services – phone 000
- general practice clinics
- home visiting services
- phone support lines, including general practitioner and nurse services in regional, remote and rural areas
How to access care:
- In an emergency, phone 000 immediately for an ambulance, or go straight to the closest hospital emergency department if it is safe for you to travel.
- If not an emergency, see Healthdirect – Find A Health Service for a list of providers.
Not sure what type of care you need or how to access it?
