Phone advice: Healthdirect on 1800 022 222
Video call with a doctor: WA Virtual Emergency Department (WAVED)
- WAVED offers emergency-level care from home -- for conditions that need urgent attention but may not require a physical visit to a hospital.
WAVED via Ambulance visit 8am to 8pm, 7 days
When a St John WA ambulance crew attends a triple zero (000) call-out, they may determine that the patient is suitable for a virtual assessment by an ED physician, rather than being immediately transported to a physical hospital. When this occurs, the ambulance crew will help the patient do a virtual consultation.
WAVEDkids (for under 16s) 10:30am to 8pm, 7 days
Families calling 1800 633 422 or 1800 022 222 may be offered a virtual consultation with ED doctors to support them to care for unwell children at home, instead of bringing them to an ED. This service is delivered by the same senior doctors and nurses who care for children in our EDs, ensuring you and your child receive expert advice.
