NURSE-ON-CALL

Sometimes it’s hard to know what your options are, particularly when it’s the middle of the night and your local GP has closed, or when you’re a long way from medical treatment. Now every Victorian has a NURSE-ON-CALL to provide immediate, expert health advice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Registered nurses won’t provide a full diagnosis of your symptoms, but using the most up-to-date health information available they’ll suggest ways you can care for yourself, advise you to contact a GP, or if your condition seems very serious they’ll transfer the call to 000. They’ll also give advice about health services in your area or the numbers of phone help lines. All information is confidential and records are fully secure.

Call 1300 60 60 24 from anywhere in Victoria for the cost of a local call (though calls from mobile phones may be charged at a higher rate). Of course, if you think your situation is an emergency, you should always call 000 or go straight to an emergency department.
