GP respiratory clinic

Get access to assessment and treatment for respiratory symptoms at cohealth’s GP respiratory clinics, even if you are COVID-19 positive.

GP respiratory clinics are for anyone who is experiencing respiratory symptoms and needs to see a GP face to face or over telehealth. Even if you have COVID-19 and can’t see your regular GP, you can book an appointment at a GP respiratory clinic.
