New GP Respiratory Clinics announced
20 new GP Respiratory Clinics will be rapidly set up across metropolitan to increase access to COVID-19 testing and respiratory assessments, closer to where people live.
GP respiratory clinics will allow adults and children with low acuity respiratory symptoms to access high quality, accessible care in the community, rather than presenting to a hospital setting.
Providers of general practice services, including general practices and community health services (with GPs) are invited to apply to be the site of a GP respiratory clinic.
An expression of interest (EOI) process has been commenced by Primary Health Networks. EOIs can be accessed via the following links:
Interested general practices and community health services can contact their local Primary Health for further information.
