Not Sure If You Need An ED or GP?

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as an acute condition?
An acute condition is a sudden onset of illness or injury, such as an infection, minor injury or flare-up of an existing condition, requiring prompt but not necessarily emergency care.
Should I go to the ED or book a GP appointment?
If your condition is not life-threatening and you’re safe to travel, a same-day GP appointment can often provide faster, more appropriate care than an emergency department.
Do I need a referral for acute care?
No referral is required to see one of our GPs for an acute presentation; you can book directly.
What happens if my condition needs specialist or hospital care?
Your GP will coordinate a referral to the appropriate specialist or hospital promptly, based on your clinical needs.
