Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic the Australian Government announced it would be rolling out up to 100 GP-led Respiratory Clinics to keep patients with mild/moderate respiratory symptoms away from hospitals and other general practices.

The Whitsunday Respiratory Clinic is proud to be involved in this initiative, caring for our Whitsunday community in this time of need.

This service is FREE so there will be no charge to the patient.

Should you have more detailed questions please contact the National Coronavirus Hotline for advice 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week on:

Communicating With Your Regular GP

Your family GP is the person who cares for you throughout life.

Because of this it is important that your regular GP is kept in the loop.

With your consent, we will be communicating with your regular GP to let them know you have attended Whitsunday Respiratory Clinic. We will also copy your GP into any tests that we request.

Please note that:

Patients can make an appointment themselves or following recommendation from their regular doctor.
Patients will be asked to remain in their car and phone the clinic to let us know they have arrived.
On site swabbing for COVID-19 is offered.

A Healthy Community

As the Whitsunday region emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic it is important that we test, track and quarantine any potential cases.
We will be working closely with the local authorities to ensure we can address this pandemic as a community.
