What to do if you feel unwell

Firstly, if your symptoms are serious such as having difficulty breathing you should call 000 for urgent medical help.

If however, your symptoms are not immediately life threatening you can contact the National Coronavirus Helpline on 1800 020 080 to talk to someone about your symptoms. The line operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Alternatively, you can seek medical advice by contacting the Tieri Medical Centre on 4984 8386 for further advice. Remember we have a Doctor available seven days a week, but we also need to be conscious of not overloading the Medical Practice so please follow any instructions you are given.

You will need to tell your doctor about the symptoms, any travel history, any recent contact you have had with someone who has had COVID-19 that you are aware of.

If you are told to self-isolate, you might find information from the Australian Government Department of Health website useful.
