Urgent and After-Hours Care
Life-threatening emergency?
Call 000
or your local emergency department immediately!
Need an appointment today?
We recommend booking routine appointments in advance, but if you’re unwell and need same-day care, we keep a selection of on-the-day appointments for urgent concerns. Call us on 02 6109 9320 or book online. If nothing’s available at your preferred time, we’ll add you to our waitlist and contact you as soon as a spot opens up.
Need urgent phone advice?
Booking an appointment is the best way to get your concerns properly addressed, but if something urgent comes up, contact reception and we’ll do what we can to help.
Please note our email inbox is monitored by administrative staff only, not our clinical team. For anything time-sensitive, call us or book an appointment rather than emailing.
After-hours care
After-hours care is for health concerns that are urgent and can’t wait until we’re next open. That generally means:
- 6.30pm to 8.30am, Monday to Friday
- 5.30 pm Friday to 8.30 Monday (all weekend)
- All day, public holidays
