WE CARE FOR REFUGEES IN AUSTRALIA

ACCESS REFUGEE CARE

REFUGEE HEALTH

Refugees and people seeking asylum may have different healthcare needs and different levels of access to Medicare and public health services.

Queensland Health provides eligible Medicare-ineligible asylum seekers with access to certain public health services without charge. This arrangement applies to eligible Queensland public health services and does not necessarily mean that services provided by a private general practice are free.

Please contact Westridge Medical before booking to confirm available services, eligibility and any applicable fees.

HEALTH FOR REFUGEES

People from refugee backgrounds may have individual physical and psychological healthcare needs. These may be influenced by experiences before, during or after migration, including:

  • traumatic events such as psychological trauma or torture
  • deprivation and prolonged poverty
  • poor access to health care prior to arrival in Australia.
 
Ask your GP for more information on how you can access help as a Refugee.
