The Alfred Emergency Department is experiencing high demand

As a result, patients attending The Alfred may experience longer than usual wait times tonight (Wednesday 2 Sept) and tomorrow (Thursday 3 Sept) morning.

If your condition is not urgent, please consider other healthcare options, including:

• Your local Medicare Urgent Care Clinic
• Nurse-on-Call (1300 60 60 24)
• Victorian Virtual Emergency Department
• Your GP
• Your local pharmacy

Our emergency department remains open and will continue to provide care for patients with serious or life-threatening conditions.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
