Update: GP Respiratory Clinics
Home / News & Opportunities / Latest news / Current post
Federally-funded GP Respiratory Clinics (GPRCs) are closing on 28 February 2023. These clinics will be replaced by the 'GPRC Panel'.
GPRCs give patients access to face-to-face assessment of respiratory symptoms (including COVID-19), testing and immediate treatment close to where they live.
The following federally-funded GP Respiratory Clinics (GPRCs) are closing on 28 February 2023:
- Carrum Downs Respiratory Clinic
- Prahran Respiratory Clinic
- Rosebud Respiratory Clinic
SEMPHN thanks these GPRCs for playing a crucial role in supporting local primary health services and easing the pressure off emergency departments by providing support to people with mild respiratory symptoms.
From 1 March 2023, Federally-funded GPRCs will be replaced by the 'GPRC Panel’, which will be activated in cases of COVID surge.
