Who to call for help

The poster and information sheet explain who to contact in different health situations in Victoria.

For life‑threatening emergencies—such as difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, unconsciousness, chest pain, stroke symptoms, serious accidents or large burns—call Triple Zero (000). For urgent but non‑life‑threatening care, you can visit an Urgent Care Clinic, use the free 24/7 Victorian Virtual Emergency Department, call Nurse‑on‑Call, visit your GP, call 13SICK, use Healthdirect, or speak with your local pharmacist.
