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.

  • Community Defibrillator

    There is 24 hour access to a defibrillator located on the external wall at the entrance of the Urgent Care Centre. The defibrillator has clear instructions for use. Call Cobdenhealth anytime for support.

    Other public defibrillators in Cobden are located at the Golf course and the Football Club.

    If you or someone you are caring for has chest pain call 000 immediately.

  • Victorian Ambulance Service

    Cobdenhealth is partnering with the Victorian Ambulance Service to provide high quality, responsive emergency care in our local community. Ambulance Victoria (AV) also provides support to our on-floor carers, and assists in upskilling by the provision of edication sessions. AV are seeking the interest of the Cobden Communtiy to become volunteer drivers and AV members - if this is something that interests you, please contact MICA Paramedic Community Support Coordinator (Corangamite Region), David Ferarri via email: Corangamite.PCSC@ambulance.vic.gov.au

Meals on Wheels is a great lunch delivered by a friendly volunteer, every day of the week between 11.30am and 1pm.

If you're at Cobdenhealth visiting a friend or family member, you are most welcome to have a meal with them, too! Just ask for the Meal Order Form from the administration desk or Nurses Station. (Minimum 1 days notice prior required for this service).
