GV Health’s Emergency Department is currently experiencing high demand, leading to lengthy wait times for patients with non-urgent matters. GV Health asks community members to visit the Emergency Department only for urgent or life-threatening conditions.
The Priority Primary Care Centre (PPCC) in Shepparton offers urgent care services for non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses. The PPCC is located at 49 Graham St. For more details, including operating hours, visit http://shepmed.mthc.com.au/ppcc/
Additionally, the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department (VVED) provides access to care for non-life-threatening emergencies from anywhere in Victoria. For more information, visit https://www.vved.org.au/patients/
“GV Health staff work hard to see everyone who presents to the Emergency Department as quickly as possible, however prioritises those who present with life threatening conditions,” said chief operating officer, Donna Sheringham.
“We urge those who present with non-life-threatening conditions to utilise the alternative services which reduces the strain on the Emergency Department, ensuring timely care for those in urgent need.”
