Healthdirect
Healthdirect provides virtual care for children 16 years and under who meet specific triage criteria. Parents, carers and community members are encouraged to utilise this service if their child is unwell.
At this time of year, there are respiratory illnesses circulating in our community. Healthcare professional access is in high demand and Healthdirect is another health care option available, in addition to the local Emergency Department. Healthdirect is a convenient, user-friendly service that also now provides virtual care for children 16 years and under who meet specific triage criteria, without leaving home. Call Healthdirect on (1800 022 222) anytime day or night if your child is unwell and you're not sure what to do or where to go. Healthdirect is free and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A registered nurse will answer your call, ask some questions and connect you with the right care for your baby, child or young person. This care may include virtual care for your child, provided by senior paediatric nurses and paediatricians, without you having to leave your home. If it’s an emergency, call Triple Zero (000) or go to an Emergency Department. Here is a short video that promotes the Healthdirect service from a parent’s experience when seeking care for their sick child.
