Emergency?

When you’re unwell, there are a range of different care options available across Tasmania. The right option depends on your symptoms and how serious your illness is.
Choosing the most appropriate service for your needs can help you get the right care sooner and help busy services see the most unwell patients first.
If you, or someone else, are experiencing a serious and life-threatening injury or illness call triple zero (000) immediately or go to the nearest Emergency Department.
