There is a new respiratory clinic in Warrnambool which will now be open 7 days a week. The clinic is one of 28 new State Government respiratory clinics to be funded and will be run by Epic Health.

The clinics will be free for patients to visit and will be available to assist you with:
- mild to moderate respiratory symptoms (such as coughs, runny noses etc)
- influenza symptoms
- COVID-19 symptoms.

The clinic will also be offering PCR testing and can assist you with obtaining anti-viral medication if you require it and are eligible.

The clinic will be situated at the old Callaghan's Motors site at 133 Fairy Street Warrnambool and will be open 9 am - 9 pm Monday - Friday, and 9 am - 6 pm Saturday and Sunday.

This clinic is a great alternative to waiting in the SWH Emergency Department for mild coughs and colds, and hopefully will mean that patients can be seen faster, and sent home to rest and recuperate sooner.

Please note that you will need to book to attend the clinic. You can book by calling (03) 9975 8403.

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a rare but potentially serious infection of the brain caused by a virus spread to humans through mosquito bites.

In the last week JEV has been detected in pigs in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.

No cases of JEV have been detected in humans, however several cases of encephalitis with no identified cause have been detected in NSW and SA in the past month.

Most JEV infections are asymptomatic, however those with severe infection (less than one per cent) may experience neck stiffness, coma, and more rarely, permanent neurological complications or death.

Anyone experiencing these symptoms, particularly if they’ve visited regions near the border of Victoria and New South Wales or been in contact with pigs, should seek urgent medical attention.

Avoid mosquito bites by using mosquito repellent containing picaridin or DEET on all exposed skin. Wear long, loose fitting clothing when outside, and ensure accommodation, including tents, are properly fitted with mosquito nettings or screens.

Are you drinking enough water? 🌊 Water helps our body and brain function properly 🧠💪

On average adults should drink 2 to 2.5 litres of water a day and children should drink 1 to 2 litres a day, to keep you at your best.

If you’re having trouble drinking enough water, try setting reminders, keep a water bottle with you to sip regularly and eat water-rich fruits and vegetables 🍉
