The Milton-Ulladulla Hospital Emergency Department is open 24 hours seven days a week for all people with serious illness or injury who need urgent medical attention. No referral is necessary.

The role of an emergency department is to treat illnesses or injuries that are serious and require urgent medical attention.

The order in which you will be seen in an emergency department is determined by the seriousness of your health problem, not the time of your arrival. Those people with the most serious and urgent conditions are always treated first and those with less serious conditions may have to wait.
