EMERGENCY

In an emergency, always call triple zero (000) for an ambulance. Ambulances are the safest way to be assessed, treated and transported to the right hospital for the care you need.

Triple zero (000) is a free call from any phone, mobile or phone box.

For less severe but still urgent situations, go to an Emergency Department.

There are 12 public hospital Emergency Departments in Northern NSW Local Health District and they are all available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

COVID19 UPDATE: 4 November

Northern NSW Local Health District continues to encourage people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as they are able to, and to be alert for any symptoms of COVID-19 and get tested immediately if symptoms develop.

There have been five new cases of COVID-19 reported for Northern NSW Local Health District in the 24 hours to 8pm 3 November.

These cases are in the Grafton area of the Clarence Valley Local Government Area (LGA), are household contacts, and the source of infection is under investigation.
