Benalla Health services remain open and available to support our community at this time.
If local conditions or road closures make it difficult for you to attend in person, the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department (VED) is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for urgent, non-life-threatening health concerns. Through a video call on your phone, tablet or computer, you can speak directly with emergency nurses and doctors from anywhere in Victoria. The service is free and does not require a referral or Medicare card.
To access the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department, visit: π https://ved.vic.gov.au
Please note that VED is for non-life-threatening conditions only. In a life-threatening emergency, always call Triple Zero (000) immediately.
The safety of our community is our highest priority. Please check in on family, friends, neighbours and anyone who may need extra support during this time.
Stay vigilant, stay informed and most importantly, stay safe.
