The Emergency Department

The Emergency Department (ED)is the entry point for all patients coming to the hospital. This also applies to those being called in for a transplant.

You will need to advise the triage nurse that you are here for your transplant. You will undergo a chest x-ray, and possibly some other tests, before being moved to the ward to wait.

The ED is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is located on Level 1, and is accessed via Burgundy Street or via the main foyer on Level 1.
