Information and resources for practice staff, Practice Managers, GPs and other health professionals for patient care outside of regular business hours
Accessing the right type of after hours care is essential for supporting patients who require urgent medical attention outside of regular business hours.
Many patients are not aware of the after hours health care services available to them, which can lead to unnecessary attendance at Emergency Departments.
GPs and other health professionals can improve their patients’ health care by providing information to patients about how to access services after hours. Practices that share this information with their patients also meet the requirements of the RACGP Standards for General Practices.
If you or your patient are experiencing a time-critical emergency, dial 000 immediately.
