Even when it's been a loooong wait its still been worth it for us over a hospital trip, because you can wait hours there anyway - and catch something! Being at home, in bed, with privacy and a tepid bath and tea and ABC 2 is much better than being around people who are one or more of: sick, injured, scared, upset, angry, vomiting, contagious, substance affected, sick of uncomfortable chairs, etc.
The only downside is one time we had a rubbish Dr so we had to go to our normal GP the next day anyway.
