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.

Emergency departments are located at:

Pop up vaccination clinic in Goonellabah
Published: 20 Sep 2021

Northern NSW Local Health District is increasing COVID-19 vaccination opportunities
in the Lismore local government area, with an outreach clinic to operate in
Goonellabah over four days this week.

The Goonellabah COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic will be located at the Goonellabah
Child and Family Health Centre, 37 Oliver Avenue, Goonellabah with appointments
from 8:30am to 3pm Tuesday 21 to Friday 24 September.

Those aged 12 years and above are now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccination. The
clinic will provide Pfizer vaccinations for the general public, and people will need to
book their appointment via the Commonwealth Government’s COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Finder (previously eligibility checker) to make a booking. You can also call
Health Direct on 1800 571 155 for assistance to book.

Bookings are open now.

COVID-19 Vaccination Program Coordinator for NNSWLHD, Matt Long, said the popup
clinic will help provide additional access to vaccines in the Lismore area.

“We know that one of the important factors in people choosing to get a COVID-19
vaccine is having easy and accessible locations,” Mr Long said.

“We encourage anyone in the Lismore and Goonellabah areas who would like to be
vaccinated to please go online and book their appointment as soon as possible.”

The three existing clinics in Tweed Heads, Lismore and Grafton are continuing to
provide both Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccinations, and as bookings become available
they are visible via the COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Finder.

“Already, people are starting to see more availability for Pfizer bookings at our clinics
across the District, and there are also AstraZeneca bookings available within minimal
waiting times.”
