13 HEALTH
13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84) is a confidential phone service that provides health advice to Queenslanders. You can phone and talk to a registered nurse 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the cost of a local call.
13 HEALTH provides qualified health advice—it is not a diagnostic service and should not replace medical consultation. In an emergency always dial 000.
Registered nurses provide health-related advice over the phone, including symptom assessment, recommendations for care, evidence-based information, and referrals to appropriate services. They use clinical decision protocols, which are evidence-based and regularly reviewed by clinicians, to determine who you should see and how urgently.
For child health advice and breastfeeding support, ask to speak to a child health nurse (available from 6.30am-11pm every day).
