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 organisations in Casino are encouraged to express their interest in partnering with Northern NSW Local Health District to deliver healthy living initiatives as part of the Healthy Living Program.

The Northern NSW Local Health District’s Healthy Living Program provides guidance and support to help individuals adopt and maintain healthier lifestyle habits and promotes wellness and healthy ageing.

Casino-based organisations are invited to complete an online form to share details on activities they are providing locally to improve the health and wellbeing of people in the region, that could partner with the Healthy Living Program.

Northern NSW Local Health District Acting Director Aboriginal Health, Oral Health and Health Promotion Cameron Johnson is excited to hear about the community initiatives in Casino helping people to lead healthier lifestyles.

“We would like to find out about existing local projects that support people in Casino with healthy eating and physical activities,” Mr Johnson said.

“By working in partnership with locals and locally based community organisations, we can help keep people healthy and well, and out of hospitals.

“We are looking forward to learning about the great initiatives based in Casino, including those working in partnership with Aboriginal people.

“Our team is interested in discussing opportunities with community groups across a range of areas, such as physical activity, dance, sport, healthy eating, and social interaction activities for young and old.

“The community survey will help inform how we collaborate with organisations and support existing activities.” 

The initiative is part of the District’s Health Promotion strategy which aims to support healthy lifestyles in the community. Recent initiatives have included healthy eating programs for families, creating fitness activities for older residents such as dance classes, and community education about the dangers of vaping.

Organisations are encouraged to complete the online form by Friday 12 June: https://healthupnorth.info/casinocommunitysurvey
