Accessing healthcare during the holidays

Finding a GP

Many practices put a notice on their voicemail, website or social media channels advising of recommended contacts to access if your usual GP is not available during the holiday period. Alternatively, visit  healthdirect and use their service finder to locate a GP open near you.

Medicare Urgent Care Clinics are open through December and January if you or a family member needs urgent medical care.

Urgent care centres are free and provide medical care from a highly trained doctor or nurse in a GP setting when your regular GP is not available.

Urgent care provides urgent medical care for things like minor fractures, sprains, minor infections, respiratory illnesses, mild burns, severe stomach pains, or urinary tract infections.
