section_content: Primary Health Networks
(PHN) can provide masks and respirators from the National Medical
Stockpile to:

general practitioners (GPs)
Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) and Health Services
community pharmacies

PHNs can provide masks to allied health professionals in some circumstances.
Allied health professionals may be eligible if:

the masks are for staff to use
there is no commercial supply available
they are working in higher-risk clinical areas, and with higher risk vulnerable patients

PHNs will also consider whether the allied health professional can adjust how
they practice to reduce risk.
For information about PPE standards, read regulation of PPE and
COVID-19 on the Therapeutic Goods Administration website.
Read more about how we manage the limited supply of
PPE.
Eligibility for surgical masks from PHNs
PHNs will provide surgical masks to GPs and ACCHOs if they have a
demonstrated need. This includes:

there is no local supply available commercially
the people coming to your practice are more likely to have been exposed to COVID-19
your practice has an unusual number of patients who have respiratory symptoms

PHNs will provide surgical masks to community pharmacies if they meet
both of the criteria below:

there is no local supply available commercially
staff have significant contact with people who have fever and respiratory symptoms

Eligibility for respirators from PHNs
PHNs will provide respirators to GPs and ACCHOs who:

need to assess suspected COVID-19 cases
do not have respiratory clinics or emergency departments nearby

These practices must have:

isolation facilities and other appropriate infrastructure
staff who are trained in using PPE
a pandemic plan

You must use respirators with other PPE (gowns, gloves and eye protection).
Requesting masks and respirators from PHNs
When you contact your PHN to make a request, explain how you meet the
eligibility requirements.
For the contact details of your PHN, use the PHN map
locator.
If you’re eligible
Generally, PHNs will provide:

2 boxes of 50 surgical masks to each practice
1 box of 50 surgical masks to each community pharmacy

Depending on stock levels, they may give you more. They will consider the size
of your practice or other demonstrated need.
You can give these surgical masks to:

your staff to use for their protection
patients and customers who may have COVID-19
patients and customers who have a confirmed case of COVID-19

We have supplied PHNs with a small number of respirators. They will conserve
these stocks as far as possible.
You must not sell these masks or respirators as commercial stock.

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Personal protective equipment (PPE) for the health workforce during COVID-19
section_headers: Informing patients about PPE
section_content: When communicating with patients, explain:

you do not always need to wear PPE if you are both well
if you wear a mask or other PPE it is for their and your protection

If people in your practice wear PPE, you may want to provide signage near the
entrance advising this is to protect patients and staff.
If you are a health practitioner providing in-home care, let the patient know
in advance that you may wear a mask or other PPE when visiting their home.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer does discuss ppe, but details no plan to obtain them.
This talks about wearing PPE.  The question is about how to acquire PPE.

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Personal protective equipment (PPE) for the health workforce during COVID-19
section_headers: Who should use PPE
section_content: You do not always have to use PPE when providing treatment or care.
Use PPE if you:

care for someone suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19
assess or collect specimens from people who have suspected or confirmed COVID-19
have significant contact with people who have fever or respiratory symptoms that suggest COVID- 19

Give surgical masks to patients to wear straight away if they:

are under quarantine or investigation for COVID-19
are suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19
have fever or respiratory symptoms

If you do not have the appropriate PPE to assess patients or collect
specimens, refer the person to a collection centre, a GP respiratory
clinic
or emergency department.
Aged care workers should see using and getting PPE in aged
care, use of surgical masks and how to protect
yourself and others.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer does not say anything about how to get ppe.
This answer is about when to wear PPE and about how to wear PPE.  The answer isn't about where to get PPE.
