It’s Doctor Time! is a campaign by Inclusion Australia to encourage more people with intellectual disability to see their GP for a yearly health check. GPs sometimes call these Annual Health Assessments.
As part of the It’s Doctor Time! campaign, we have made some easy read factsheets, videos, conversation cards, and a social story to help people with intellectual disability get their yearly health check.
You can download the resources below.
