Department of Health information on the use of surgical masks.

The Department of Health has made the national stockpile of face masks available to general practices as needed.

Central Queensland, Wide Bay, Sunshine Coast PHN now has a limited supply of masks to distribute to practices with a demonstrated need i.e.:

• where there is no local supply available commercially; or
• where there is no local supply available from a State or Territory government scheme; and
• where practices have a population which may be more likely to have been exposed to the novel coronavirus; and/or
• have unusual numbers of patients presenting with respiratory symptoms.

If your practice falls into these categories and you cannot source masks via the channels advised above, please contact Robb Major on info@ourphn.org.au.

For further information on the use of masks when seeing patients with suspected coronavirus, please see the RACGP information page.
