Medical disclaimer

This website is not medical advice.

It describes a health service. That is all it does, and it is worth being clear about the difference.

In an emergency

Ring 000. Do not wait for a callback from us, and do not use this website. For 24-hour crisis support with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander crisis supporter, ring 13YARN on 13 92 76.

What this site is not

  • It is not a diagnosis and it is not treatment advice.
  • Reading it does not create a doctor and patient relationship.
  • It does not advertise any medicine or therapeutic good, and it does not claim any medicine will help any condition.
  • It is not a substitute for care from your own GP, Aboriginal Medical Service or specialist.

Do not stop your current treatment

Nothing on this site is a reason to change or stop a medicine you have been prescribed. That is a conversation to have with the practitioner who prescribed it.

About prescribing

Any prescribing is done by a registered medical practitioner under the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s access pathways, after an individual clinical assessment. A consultation does not guarantee a prescription, and our doctor is paid the same either way. Individual responses to any treatment differ, and no outcome is promised here.

Keeping this accurate

We try to keep this site current, but clinical practice and regulation both change. If you find something out of date or wrong, tell us through the contact page and we will fix it.
