Emergency care
All our hospitals are open as usual.
If you need to come to hospital, please ensure you bring any regular medications with you.
In an emergency, you should call Triple Zero (000).
An alternative to attending an emergency department may be to connect online to the Virtual Emergency Care Service which is open 8am to 10pm, 7 days a week. The Virtual Emergency Care Service has specialist clinicians available to treat a range of emergency conditions virtually.
You can also contact 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84), 24 hours a day, if you need health advice.
