Information Partner Newsletter Autumn 2022

Healthdirect Australia has launched a national advertising campaign to provide all Australians with advice and information to help them manage COVID-19 at home; understand their symptoms and know when to seek medical help. The campaign directs Australians to Get COVID Clarity by visiting healthdirect.gov.au/covid-clarity or calling the National Coronavirus Helpline 1800 020 080. To help us spread the messaging, please add the Get Covid Clarity link to your website, newsletters, and social media.

Consumers have become more comfortable with virtual health services over the past two years with digital tools offering fast, easy-access options. In this issue we visit two of our COVID-19 digital tools, the Vaccine Clinic Finder and the healthdirect COVID-19 Symptom Checker — key infrastructure to help Australians live with COVID-19.

We also include articles from our Information Partners: Autism Awareness, Down Syndrome Australia, Epilepsy Action and Australian Red Cross Lifeblood. We hope you enjoy our Partner in Focus interview with Mark Brooke, CEO of the Lung Foundation Australia.
