Choose the right contact route

Emergency now

Call 000. Lyell McEwin Hospital has a 24-hour Emergency Department, but emergency transport and triage should start through Triple Zero when the situation is serious.

Main hospital enquiry

Call the hospital switchboard on (08) 8182 9000 and ask for the ward, clinic, department or patient area you need.

Specialist outpatient appointment

For general LMH outpatient appointment and referral enquiries, SA Health lists (08) 8282 0255.

Appointments and referrals: step-by-step

Lyell McEwin Hospital does not work like a private clinic with one public “book now” button for every service. Appointment access depends on the department, referral status, urgency and the instructions on your clinic letter.

Confirm you are using the official LMH page. Open the official SA Health Lyell McEwin Hospital page and check the address, switchboard, Emergency Department note and current hospital links.

If you already have an appointment letter, follow that first. Use the clinic name, arrival location, date, time, preparation instructions and direct phone number printed on your letter or SMS. Hospital clinic details can change, so the newest letter is usually the safest guide.

If you need a specialist outpatient appointment, start with your GP or specialist. Ask your referrer whether your condition meets SA Health referral criteria and whether the referral should go through the Northern Adelaide LHN Specialist and Outpatient Clinics pathway.

Use the NALHN Referral Hub for GP referrals. SA Health lists GP referrals to Health.NALHNReferralHub@sa.gov.au or fax 1300 927 043. Patients can ask their GP whether the referral has been sent and what information was included.

Call outpatient enquiries if the referral or appointment status is unclear. For general LMH outpatient appointment and referral enquiries, call (08) 8282 0255. Have your Medicare card, referral details and any hospital letter ready before calling.

Plan the visit before the appointment day. Check SA Health wayfinding information for LMH and the official car parking and transport page before travelling.
