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 Child and Family Health clinic is a free service to support families caring for children from birth to five years of age.

Child and Family Health Nurses provide regular developmental screening as well as information and support on breastfeeding, maternal and infant nutrition, introducing solids, growth and development, sleep and settling, parenting, immunisation, dental care, child safety and community services.

We also provide an Immunisation Clinic for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. Immunisation is free of charge to infants, children, and eligible adults following NSW Health Immunisation Schedules and the guidelines provided by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).

All Immunisations given to children are entered on the ACIR (Australian Childhood Immunisation Register).

We accept referrals from GPs, pre-schools, self or family and carers. Bookings are essential. Please phone reception to make an appointment. If the nurse is not available, please leave your details and we will call you back to make an appointment.
