Royal Australian College of GPs
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) is desperately urging Greater Sydney patients to consult with their GP for any health concerns.
It comes following newsthat the city faces at least two more weeks of lockdown after 97 locally acquired cases were reported today.
RACGP President Dr Karen Price appealed to people in Greater Sydney to take care of themselves and avoid putting additional pressure on local hospitals by letting health concerns escalate.
“If you have a health concern, including mental health issues, please do not delay or avoid a consultation with your GP,” she said.

New year, new resources bolstering care and coverage
Ambulance Victoria has today welcomed a $14.8 million funding injection to increase ambulance services and improve access to care across the state.
Ambulance Victoria CEO Associate Professor Tony Walker said today’s announcement in Bendigo by the state government is a win-win, both for our organisation and the community.
“The last three months of 2020 saw significant demand on the healthcare system as Victorians emerged from almost eight months of restrictions and we were not exception to this,” Associate Prof. Walker said.
“While last year presented many challenges as we responded to the bushfires and COVID-19, 2021 will be just as busy on our service as we strive to meet the health needs of Victorians.
