​​Australia’s health system is one of the best in the world. It provides quality, safe and affordable health care for you and your family. It’s a key reason why we enjoy one of the longest life expectancies in the world.

We are increasingly aware that people seek health advice from Dr. Google, due to convenience, fast access and lower costs.  However, we know information obtained from Dr Google can be high risk misinformation as websites may be out of date and not reviewed by experts, 

Using the web to obtain health information can be effective for many users, but there is no gold standard for search engines or websites. Here are some helpful “Do’s” and “Don’ts” when looking for healthcare information:
Do’s
  • Use government websites (ie, cdc.gov; nih.gov; medlineplus.gov)
  • Use academic institution websites (ie, mayoclinic.org)
  • Consider WebMD.com
  • Use trustworthy websites of Peak Body organisations such as Dementia Australia, Heart Foundation and Diabetes Australia.
  • Check with your healthcare provider before following online medical advice
  • Use common sense
Don’ts
  • Self-diagnose
  • Rely on disreputable blogs for information
  • Rely on marketing sources for medical information​
