Emergency Notice

For Medical Emergencies in Australia, Call Triple Zero (000)

This page explains how to use aussihospitals.org/ safely. We help users find hospital contact and location information, but we cannot triage emergencies, assess symptoms, contact an ambulance, message a hospital or decide which service a patient needs.

For serious or urgent medical help in Australia, call Triple Zero (000).

aussihospitals.org/ is not an emergency service and does not monitor urgent requests. If someone is seriously injured, has chest pain, breathing difficulty, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, loss of consciousness, or another time-critical emergency, call 000 for ambulance, police or fire.

When This Site Is Not Enough

A directory page can help you find a hospital address or phone number, but it cannot decide whether you need urgent care. If a situation is serious, urgent or life-threatening, call 000. If you are unsure and it is not an emergency, use official health services such as Healthdirect, your GP, pharmacist, local hospital switchboard or state/territory health advice services.

  • Do not wait for an email response from this website in any urgent situation.
  • Do not use hospital-distance information as a substitute for ambulance or clinical advice.
  • Do not rely on old screenshots, cached search results or unofficial directories for emergency department status.
  • Call the hospital or use official websites to confirm service availability before travelling for non-urgent care.

Safe Use of Hospital Pages

  1. Check the hospital identity.Make sure the page is for the correct campus, suburb and state/territory.
  2. Use official links for action.Appointment, referral, patient portal, billing and medical records actions should happen on official hospital or government pages.
  3. Confirm before travelling.Phone numbers, clinic locations, visiting rules and parking instructions may change.
  4. Use 000 for serious urgency.If the condition is time-critical, directory browsing is not the right next step.
