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:

Our Cancer Care and Haematology Unit provides consultation and review by consultants on chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and biological therapies as well as a range of supportive therapies such as blood transfusions to patients with solid tumours, haematological malignancies and patients with non-cancerous blood disorders.

The unit is actively involved in clinical trials for new drugs for patients with the above indications. Patients undergoing Clinical trials must attend Tweed Valley Hospital.

Access to the Cancer Care and Haematology Unit is by referral to the Medical Oncologists or Haematologist. Appointments are made through the Tweed Byron Cancer Care Service at Tweed Valley Hospital.

Please send any referrals from GP’s and specialists to the Tweed Byron Cancer Care Service. New Haematology patients are seen by consultants at Tweed Valley Hospital in the first instance, and they can then choose to have treatment at the Murwillumbah Unit, if preferred.

Hours of Service: Mondays from 8am to 4.30pm
