If your child has been seen recently (within 24-48 hours) in Emergency and you have questions regarding their treatment plan, please call 03 9345 5522.

Please note that our doctors and nurses are unable to provide medical advice over the phone as they cannot adequately assess your child without seeing them in person; if you’re concerned for your child’s health please visit your nearest emergency department or call 000 if they are critically unwell.

Please see the ‘Should I bring my child to the ED’ page for helpful information regarding your child’s health and whether you should check in with your GP or take them to an Emergency Department.
