Health and Other Emergency Contacts
In Australia if you are feeling unwell or have a minor injury, your first point of contact is a general practitioner (GP) who works at a health service or doctors' surgery. A GP can assist you with a wide variety of medical conditions from colds and flu to minor injuries such as sprains or cuts, to travel vaccinations and sexual health checks. If needed, a GP can provide a script for medication or write a referral letter for you so you can see a specialist.
