Health Service at Clayton Campus

The University Health Service aims to provide a broad range of general health services to the University community with an emphasis on illness prevention and health education. General Medical Practitioners consult on the common range of health problems but in some cases may need to arrange referral to other services.

Longer consultations are available and encouraged. These may be arranged by prior appointment. Phone calls will be taken in relation to recent consultations. In general, attendance is required for repeat prescriptions.
