What to do when you are sick

In Australia, if you are sick you can go to a GP for minor medical issues or a hospital if your injury or illness is life threatening.

When to see a GP

If you are sick and it's not immediately life threatening but requires treatment, you might need to see a local doctor (General Practitioner). For example: cold and flu symptoms, stomach aches or fevers.

When to go to the hospital

If you have a major injury or life threatening illness, call 000 or go to a Hospital Emergency Department immediately. For example: chest pain, unconsciousness, difficulty breathing, or severe accidents.
