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:

Aboriginal Health Plan
Published: 25 Sep 2024

The NSW Aboriginal Health Plan 2024-2034 marks a significant step towards reforming health systems to provide culturally safe, holistic and high-quality care for all Aboriginal people in NSW.

The purpose of the Plan is to drive change to achieve the highest possible levels of health and wellbeing for Aboriginal people in NSW by:

  • guiding how health systems are planned, delivered, and monitored
  • elevating the focus on Aboriginal expertise to drive shared decision-making and innovative collaborations
  • influencing the redesign of health services to achieve health equity, and
  • providing direction for the elimination of racism in all aspects of health care.

We can all implement changes needed to achieve the vision of the Plan.
