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.

Eligible members of the public aged 40 and over, as well as other priority groups, can now get vaccinated against COVID-19 at a new clinic at the Tweed Mall.

“I encourage everyone who is eligible to get a vaccination to do so as soon as possible.”

Anyone in NSW aged 50 and over can book to receive the AstraZeneca vaccine by visiting www.health.gov.au.
