Be soooo much easier for the general public if they had signs saying 'Coronavirus testing' this way! Instead of 'fever clinic', no-one knows what a fever clinic is, I had to ask where to go

You know, I never really thought about it before now, only ever lived in VIC, but I thought what I could get/do here would be the same across the nation. I mean it is the one country. I thought like flu shots, councils, hospital those kind of services would be the same
REPLY

^it should be the same. Just like a standard wage for a standard job ie, nurses, school teachers, security guards - all those kind of job where you need a qualification and make it nation wide pay rate. I know nurses get paid differently in each state and their union is fighting for the lowest state to get a raise and make it even

Not wrong. I’m in WA and after seeing this have rung doctors surgeries and chemists and they all said no free ones. I’m thinking the people getting free ones hold healthcare cards.

You can’t get it for free in WA unless your aged up to 12, over 65 or sick/vulnerable. Hospitals do not give free flu shots.

I will be roasted for this, but may help someone who is broke, go to any doctors surgery, not your regular one, and say ‘im asthmatic, need my flu vac’ they will give it to you free and just say ‘how are you managing your asthma’ reply with ‘pretty good, been dorment a while, i just carry a ventiliion just in case’

So you’re saying lie? If you’re new to a surgery you have to fill out a new patient form. It will ask “ are you asthmatic “. If you say yes, they will do a check up on you at your first appointment and ask you all about your asthma and what medication you take. You have to sign the patient form saying it’s true. You can get into trouble for lying. They can even see if you’re on the my health register and check against that. It’s how they catch out ‘doctor shoppers.’ The flu shot is around $15. Just pay it.

^ I agree. $15 for a jab is worth not being labelled a criminal. You're falsifying legal information. Ok maybe criminal is a bit harsh but they'll probably put a note on your medical file
REPLY

A lot of good people can't afford $15 for the family, wife, hubby and 3 kids = $75. yes I know it's better than getting sick, just saying. that's why a lot of public hospitals give it out free

It's great they have a separate clinic for Coronavirus testing. Stops clogging up emergency that way. Of course if you are unwell and go to the fever clinic, they will refer you to emergency.

No there are many reasons from people of a certain age through to people with medical problems. You can always ask your doctor if you or any of your family are eligible:)

Hospitals give it out for free to anyone, adults, children, whoever. Usually a community clinic. It presents people ending up as patients!

Nope. Only free in WA if elderly, very young, or vulnerable ( sickness ). I paid $20 each for myself and kids aged 11, 14, 17. They are done at GPs, community clinics or pharmacies. I’m happy to pay that, just surprised other states are getting it for free.
