With a hot start to the new year forecast for this week, holidaying Hunter residents are being urged to have a 24-hour Health Advice contact on standby.
NSW Health is reminding travellers to be aware of the impacts of heat, to remain well hydrated, and to take heed of the Slip, Slop, Slap message.
People can access a range of online health information by logging onto <www.healthdirect.org.au> but are also advised to call Health Direct Australia on 1800 022 222 to speak to a registered nurse.
