Who we are

DRS4DRS ACT is a free, confidential service for all doctors and medical students who have concerns about their health and wellbeing such as stress, mental health problems, substance use issues, or any other health issue. Sensitive to the needs of doctors and medical students, we are a non-judgmental service dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of those within the profession.

24/7 help line

We offer a telephone help line, providing independent and confidential advice for registered medical practitioners and medical students in the ACT. Advice is also provided to anyone who is concerned about a doctor or medical student. This includes family, friends, colleagues, university staff and clinical staff.

Finding the support you need

We are here to help you find the support you need – whether it be referrals to specialist practitioners, online resources, or other services. We handle calls relating to stress and mental illness, drug and alcohol problems and relationship and other personal issues. No problem is too trivial or too serious.

Events

Drs4Drs ACT supports the wellbeing of doctors and medical students through a range of targeted events and engagement activities. These may include educational workshops, peer support forums, wellbeing seminars, and networking events designed to reduce stigma and promote help‑seeking. Events may be delivered in partnership with local health services, professional organisations and training providers, and aim to build awareness of available supports while fostering a culture of care within the medical community. Where appropriate, Drs4Drs ACT also contributes to conferences and sector forums to share insights and strengthen collaboration across the health system.
