EMERGENCY

In an emergency, always call triple zero (000). It’s a free call from any phone, mobile or phone box.

For other urgent medical issues, go to an Emergency Department.

Our Emergency Departments are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week:

The Heart Failure program is provided by a registered nurse with specialist knowledge in the field of heart failure. The program is aimed at providing education and support for people with a diagnosis of heart failure to encourage modification of risk factors and promote self-management strategies with positive psychological support. The aim is for this client group to achieve optimal physical and psychological function, to self-manage their condition and encourage positive healthy lifestyle change with guidance from the GP, cardiologist and specialist nurse.

Clients may also be referred to other programs as appropriate.

Our program is managed by the Heart Failure nurse in conjunction with our physiotherapy department and exercise physiologist.
