Get health advice

Help keep hospital emergency departments for emergencies. Our emergency departments prioritise people needing urgent care and you may need to wait to be seen for non-urgent matters.

If you’re not experiencing an emergency, but you’re feeling unwell or not sure if you need to see a doctor, Healthdirect offers a handy symptom checker and approved health advice.

You can call the Healthdirect helpline on 1800 022 222 (24 hours) to talk to a registered nurse.
