Unsure about where to go for help with personal or health problems?
DHASWA provides a confidential, 24 hour/7 day a week support line and referral system for doctors and medical students in crisis, or not sure where to go for help with personal or health problems. DHASWA can be utilized by the person themselves, or by a concerned family member, friend, colleague or staff member.
Research has shown that only 30-40% of doctors have their own general practitioner.
Doctors face unique barriers to accessing health care and often do not have a regular treating doctor, and are at greater risk of mental health issues and substance use problems. The Doctor’s Health Advisory Service of Western Australia (DHAS WA) is experienced in the unique health needs of doctors, and has important skills in the area of doctor-patient care.
