Emergency Information
In case of medical, fire or police emergency, phone 000 (triple zero).
Hospital emergency departments are open 24 hours a day, including public
holidays.
The role of an emergency departments is to treat emergencies - that is when
illness or injury is serious and requires urgent medical attention.
The role of the Urgent Primary Care Centre is to specialise in lower acuity
presentations, which means minor injuries and illnesses only. It is open
from 7am – 10pm every day of the year.
The order in which you will be seen in an emergency department is determined
by the seriousness of your health problem, not the time of your arrival.
Those people with the most serious and urgent conditions are always treated
first and those with less serious ailments may have to wait.
