after hours emergencies

If you need medical care outside of our normal opening hours, you should call 000 if it is emergency, or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.

An emergency includes whenever the patient has chest pains, uncontrolled bleeding, poisoning, constant vomiting, serious breathing problems, or anything else you deem as life or limb threatening.

DOCTOR DOCTOR: IN-home AFTER-HOURS MEDICAL CARE

If you need medical care which is an emergency but cannot wait until we re-open, you can call our out-of-hours service, known as Doctor Doctor, on 13 26 60.

They are available after 6pm Monday to Friday, after 12 noon on Saturdays and all day on Sunday and public holidays (and before 8am every day). All patients with a Medicare or DVA card are bulk billed. They will send us a report of your visit the next day, so we are kept up-to-date.
