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.

Emergency departments are located at:

COMMUNITY NOTICE

Community members are invited to join in celebrations to mark the 100th anniversary of Kyogle Memorial Hospital at a special Open Day on Saturday 15 November.

Now known as Kyogle Multi-Purpose Service (MPS), the hospital will mark its centenary with a community Open Day highlighting the various services offered today, as well as the fascinating history of the healthcare service over the past century.

A highlight of the day will be the display of the bright yellow 1938 Dodge Ambulance – the original ambulance based at Kyogle Memorial Hospital – which has been kindly loaned to the Kyogle Museum by the Tamora Ambulance Museum. The ambulance has been transported back to Kyogle thanks to a community fundraising drive hosted by the Kyogle Museum.

Admitting its first patient on 2 May 1925, Kyogle Memorial Hospital has been a central focus of the Kyogle community for over a century, providing high-quality healthcare to people across the region.

Co-located alongside a private General Practioners’ practice, Kyogle MPS today provides emergency, general medical, and aged care services as part of a flexible model of care tailored to the local community. It includes care for 26 aged care residents who live on site.

The community Open Day will be held on Saturday 15 November from 9am to 1pm, with official proceedings to take place at 10am.

The event will also include:
•    step back in time with Kyogle Museum display
•    healthcare information and checks
•    sign up to be a Healthcare Helper volunteer at the hospital
•    health career information
•    interactive wildlife display and snake bite advice from our doctors

•    Kyogle Hospital Auxiliary stand
•    Lions Club sausage sizzle and coffee truck
•    local community services including Kyogle Council, SES, sports clubs and more

The Open Day follows a special community luncheon hosted by the Kyogle Hospital Auxiliary in June, to mark the start of the centenary celebrations.
