Phone consultations for COVID-19
Australians who believe they may have been exposed to COVID-19 have been advised to phone their GP or local health service and seek advice before attending. The Australian Government unveiled a health package on 11 March 2020 under which, from Friday 13 March 2020, Medicare will allow bulk-billing of phone or video consultations for people in home isolation or quarantine, as a result of coronavirus. The services can be provided by doctors, both GPs and specialists, nurses and mental health allied health workers.
