Alternative options to the Emergency Department

During periods of high demand in our Emergency Departments, it is important that our community continue to receive the care they need.

The emergency department is for emergencies. People with non-urgent, non-life-threatening conditions should expect long waits.

There is a range of alternative care providers in our local area.
