Brisbane South State Secondary College has been selected to participate in the 'GPs in Schools Pilot'.
The Pilot is part of the Queensland Government's Student Wellbeing Package. The initiative is designed to make it easier for young people in Queensland schools to access the healthcare they need.
The Pilot has allowed us to set up a fit-for purpose clinic on our College grounds. This clinic provides our students with access to a General Practitioner every Wednesday, during school terms.
