EMERGENCY

In an emergency, always call triple zero (000). It’s a free call from any phone, mobile or phone box.

For other urgent medical issues, go to an Emergency Department.

Our Emergency Departments are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week:

Tweed Valley Hospital offers an extensive outpatient service for a range of health needs.

Location: Ground floor, Tweed Valley Hospital 
Contacting us: Phone 02 6677 2400; fax 02 6677 2499 

Opening hours vary between clinics. Contact us for details. 

Appointments are prioritised by clinical urgency category and clinically recommended timeframes. 

Your hospital visit 

Please aim to arrive at the hospital 30 minutes before your appointment, to allow enough time to park your car and arrive at the Outpatients Department. 

You are welcome to use the buggy that runs most weekdays between the western car park, main entrance, Health Hub building and the east entrance. 

When you enter the hospital, please check in at one of our self check-in kiosks located on the ground and lower ground floors. 

You can choose to receive a ticket or SMS, which will include your appointment number and advice on where to wait. 

Keep an eye on the digital screens in the waiting area for your number to be called. Once it appears, head to your appointment.

We recommend allowing at least two hours for your visit, as delays can occur.
