Keeping medicines going

Keep taking your medicines as prescribed. If you are close to running out, book your first visit soon or tell us so we can plan refills.

Insurance and membership

Many members keep their health insurance for hospital, specialist, imaging and emergency care, and use WheelHouse Health for everyday primary care. Read do you still need insurance.
