Keeping you safe

Everyone has rights. These include being safe, listened to and treated fairly. This information explains your rights and how Healthdirect Australia helps keep you safe.

Healthdirect Australia helps people with their health. You can visit our website or call one of our health advice phone lines. Our website also includes a Symptom Checker.

We are a child safe organisation. This means keeping children safe is one of our most important jobs. Every year we check that we are doing this well.

Speaking up

If something doesn't feel right, you have the right to speak up and ask for help.
