Alice Springs Hospital is currently experiencing a prolonged peak in demand for emergency care.

This may result in lengthy delays for people waiting to be seen in the Emergency Department.

Those with non-emergency health needs are encouraged to visit their GP or the after-hours clinic or contact Healthdirect on 1800 022 222.  

The situation will continue to be monitored while the peak in demand continues.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.
