Find the right care, see Better Health Channel
If you need care today but it's not life-threatening, and you can't get a GP appointment, help is available.
The Department of Health runs strategic communications campaigns for the general public, the health sector, local communities and businesses to:
- raise awareness about health issues like communicable diseases, environmental health and food safety
- encourage people to make positive health choices
- protect workers' and consumers' health and safety.
Contact us if you would like more information about any of these campaigns.
