When emergencies occur you can feel confident that Urgent Care is nearby. We offer a specialised service to patients who require immediate care. 

Urgent patients will be seen as soon as possible. If using a Fax or Email, please highlight your communication as URGENT.

Urgent referred patients can benefit by:

• Onsite Diagnostics - Imaging facilities and pathology are available onsite and can be accessed without undue delay,
• Quick Assessment - Quick evaluation with an expert assessment,
• Clear Explanation - Discuss with your patient their treatment options,
• Early Treatment - Timely treatment can be offered to help with an optimal outcome.

Contact The Surgeon Direct

We encourage direct surgeon access.  Using various channels of communication where possible we seek to enable our referrers to ask questions about specific cases either before a referral or during their care.
