South Australians now have more ways to get care than ever before. Alongside GPs and emergency departments, services such as urgent care clinics, pharmacies, virtual care and mental health centres provide more options to access the right care, at the right time.
Research shows that many South Australians are still not aware of the full range of care options available to them, or when different services are appropriate. This can make it difficult to know where to go, particularly when someone is unwell or unsure how serious their condition is.
The Where to get care campaign helps South Australians better understand the range of healthcare services available, when to use them, and how to access them, including:
- Urgent Care Clinics
- Virtual care services
- 24/7 pharmacies
- Mental health services
