HealthResourceDirectory.org.au is home to safe, reliable and locally relevant health information for patients about their new diagnosis.
Designed to complement HealthPathways, factsheets on Health Resource Directory are adapted from the clinical content on HealthPathways and can be printed directly from the ‘Patient Information’ section on HealthPathways pages.
The Health Resource Directory website is home to over 300 factsheets. All factsheets are published in English, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese and Arabic, include audio versions in each language.
Each Health Resource Directory factsheet and webpage provides information about:
- What is the health condition and how it may affect the patient
- What the patient can expect from their GP
- What the patient can do to help manage their condition
- What local health services are available
- Questions the patient may want to ask their GP
- Other useful information or resources
The site is regularly updated with new health information and each factsheet is reviewed by local GPs and our Community Advisory Committee.
Your patients may want to know more about Health Resource Directory over the next few months as we roll out a new marketing campaign highlighting the websites usefulness. We encourage GPs to utilise Health Resource Directory at the point of care.
Please direct your patients to visit the new Health Resource Directory website after a new diagnosis or print the relevant factsheet for your patient in their required language, during your next consultation.
