EMERGENCY

In an emergency, always call triple zero (000) for an ambulance. Ambulances are the safest way to be assessed, treated and transported to the right hospital for the care you need.

Triple zero (000) is a free call from any phone, mobile or phone box.

For less severe but still urgent situations, go to an Emergency Department.

There are 12 public hospital Emergency Departments in Northern NSW Local Health District and they are all available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

COVID-19 - New venues of concern
Published: 14 Oct 2021

Northern NSW Local Health District has been notified of new venues of concern associated with confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the region.

All close contacts are contacted directly and informed as part of normal contact tracing processes. They must get tested and isolate according to the advice they are given by NSW Health.

Anyone else who has been at these venues below at the date and time listed is considered a casual contact and must immediately get tested and isolate until a negative result is received. Casual contacts should also get a test on day six after exposure, but do not have to isolate while waiting for this result, if they are well.
