Feeling Unwell? See Your GP Without Leaving Home 🏡

If you're experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms – such as sore throat, cough, fever, or fatigue – it could be COVID-19, Influenza or RSV. These viruses are circulating more widely at the moment and can be serious, especially for babies, older adults, and people with underlying conditions.

💡 If you’re symptomatic, please consider booking a Telehealth appointment.
Telehealth allows you to speak with your GP by phone or video call – all from the comfort and safety of your home. It’s a convenient way to get medical advice while also helping to reduce the spread of illness in our community.

✅ RATs that test for COVID, Influenza & RSV are available at pharmacies and supermarkets.
✅ If you test positive, please stay home. Your GP will call you at your prearranged Telehealth appointment time to discuss the next steps.
✅ Vaccinations remain your best protection – speak with your GP or pharmacist about boosters and eligibility.

😷 Mask up if you're unwell or around others who may be at risk.

📞 Call us ON 9409 5000 or book online via HotDoc for a Telehealth consultation.
