About us
Our emergency department (ED) provides 24-hour, 7-day-a-week emergency care for adults and children with an illness or injury that requires urgent attention or is too complex to be managed in a general practitioner's rooms.
The ED has access to a range of medical imaging services on-site as well as short-stay, medical assessment and intensive care units.
Our experienced and caring multidisciplinary team of health professionals is dedicated to the health and wellbeing of our patients.
While all patients in the ED may be experiencing serious illness or injury, those with life-threatening and severe conditions must be treated first.
