North Coast Health Connect was launched earlier this year and offers a free 1800 phone number, and live web chat, for residents to speak with a registered nurse any time of the day or night, including public holidays.
Funded by Healthy North Coast and delivered by Amplar Health, the service ensures urgent health concerns can be assessed quickly and confidentially by a trusted health professional.
If needed, they will connect you with a local GP, community pharmacist or a virtual care appointment.
The service is a new front door to local health care in Northern NSW, for those unsure about who to see when a medical need arises, helping to ease pressure on hospital resources.
