EMERGENCY

In an emergency, always call triple zero (000). It’s a free call from any phone, mobile or phone box.

For other urgent medical issues, go to an Emergency Department.

Our Emergency Departments are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week:

The NSW Needle and Syringe Program (NSP) is an evidence-based public health program that aims to reduce the transmission of infections such as HIV and hepatitis C among people who inject drugs. NSP outlets provide sterile injecting equipment such as needles and syringes, Fitpacks and other injecting equipment (such as swabs, water, spoons and cotton balls) as well as disposal facilities free of charge.

NSP outlets are staffed by specialist workers who provide access to sterile injecting equipment, promote safe disposal practices and facilitate referrals to health, welfare and community services as needed.

Harm Reduction/NSP also coordinates the Needle Clean Up Hotline (1800 633 353) response across the Mid North Coast and Northern NSW communities with support from North Coast Environmental Health team. If you have found discarded needles and syringes please call the Needle Clean-up Hotline on 1800 633 353

For information and help if you have concerns about alcohol and other drugs, visit the Alcohol and Drug Information Service or call them on 1800 250 015.
