This Crazy Socks for Docs week, we’re especially thinking of doctors working away from the cities...in hospitals, clinics, communities and on call.

For rural and remote doctors, getting care for yourself can be complicated by distance and the feeling that you simply have to keep going.

Why not check-in on a rural doctor or medical student you know?

Doctors’ Health SA & NT exists because doctors and medical students all over SA & NT deserve independent, confidential support too.

24/7 urgent advice: 08 8366 0250

Most doctors are very good at noticing when someone else needs help. They’re not always as quick to notice it in themselves.

This Crazy Socks for Docs week, let’s make the check-in normal:
“Are you actually okay?”
“Have you got your own GP?”
“Do you need backup?”

For urgent, confidential advice for doctors and medical students in the SA & NT call 08 8366 0250

What does support actually look like?

A call when things feel too heavy.

Care that fits around the reality of medical work.
