Urgent Care Services
Unfortunately we have had to temporarily close our urgent care centre.
The quality accredited Cobdenhealth Urgent Care Centre operates a 24-hour / 7 days a week providing emergency stabilisation. The Urgent Care Centre is located at 5 Victoria Street, Cobden, adjacent to the entrance of the main facility.
The Urgent Care Centre is staffed by Registered Nurses trained in Advanced Life Support and is equipped with Tele-health. Patient needs are assessed and as necessary, a medical practitioner or the ambulance service is contacted for support. Patients requiring transfer are sent to the closest regional or major trauma service.
Cobdenhealth Members receive free treatment from Cobdenhealth. Other charges may be incurred for treatment by a medical practitioner or the Ambulance Service.
Call Cobdenhealth for the Urgent Care Centre on (03) 5595 3100 at any time.
In an emergency always call 000.
