Your child is feeling a bit under the weather, they seem miserable and could be running a slight temperature. It might be time to head to the doctor. But where to go?
Illness can strike at any time. If you want peace of mind, you can contact Queensland Health on 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84). This puts you in touch with a qualified nurse who can help guide your actions. There are also a number of after hours or 24-hour doctors in Brisbane.
Getting medical attention quickly and professionally is key when you or your child are unwell overnight. Here is a list of after hours and 24-hour doctors and medical centres in and around Brisbane.
