Is your Doctor Closed this Easter? Avoid a Trip to the Emergency Department…
11 April 2025
Wentworth Healthcare, the provider of the Nepean Blue Mountains Primary Health Network, is reminding the community that the hospital is not the only option when your doctor is closed over the upcoming Easter and Anzac Day public holidays.
Healthcare CEO, Lizz Reay, said that after hours or urgent care services offer an important alternative to the emergency department for urgent, but not life-threatening, injuries or illnesses, and in cases where your regular GP may not be open.
“If you or your family needs medical assistance over the upcoming public holidays, there are a range of options available. Our DoctorClosed.com.au website can help local residents to search for a GP who is open after hours, for doctors who can make home visits or for your closest Urgent Care Service. You can also use the online symptom checker, find pharmacies that are open, or talk to a health professional 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by calling the healthdirect helpline on 1800 022 222,” said Ms Reay.
Ms Reay added that the Doctor Closed website is accessible for multicultural communities, with translated pages in six different languages.
