Health

Important

While the internet can be useful for researching health and wellbeing, it’s important to remember that apps and websites should not be used to diagnose yourself or others if you are sick. Always seek the advice of a medical professional if you are unwell.
There are a few different ways you can do this:
1. Visit your GP or healthcare professional.
2. Call the HealthDirect Helpline on 1800 022 222 for 24-hour non-emergency advice from a registered nurse.
3. Call 000 in an emergency situation.
