Consult Prep Wizard

Walk in prepared.

Tell me what's going on, and I'll hand you the version your doctor's brain is listening for.

No JavaScript? Prepare on paper — same questions.

The wizard needs JavaScript to assemble your notes, but the questions it walks you through work just as well on paper. Write your answers down and bring them in:

What's going on? Say it how you'd say it to a friend — e.g. “tired all the time for a few months, worse since I changed jobs”.
When did it start, and is it changing? Doctors often want to know when it started, whether it's getting worse, and what it's stopped you doing.
How bad does it get? For pain, decide your number out of 10 before you go. For a lump: how long it's been there, whether it's changed, and its size.
Who's the appointment with (GP, specialist, telehealth) and who's it about (you, your child, someone you care for)?
Anything you're worried it might be? Only if you want to — but it's worth having the words ready.
What do you want to walk out with? A referral, a plan, or just to understand what's going on.

If this is an emergency — chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of stroke, severe bleeding, or thoughts of harming yourself — don't write notes: call 000 now. Lifeline 13 11 14.
