It is no secret that emergency departments are feeling an enormous strain as record numbers of the community present at a hospital for medical treatment every day. After years of working in this hectic and intense healthcare environment, I realised that the majority of people coming to the emergency department could have their symptoms treated in the community - they didn’t need to be in the hospital!

What if you could walk into a purpose built emergency clinic without going near a hospital? The best medical equipment, the best emergency team, snacks and drinks available for the family and all of your needs met in one location. And especially… no lengthy waits to see a doctor! It sounds too good to be true.


This is what the team has created at Heal. Since opening our doors in 2023, we have provided comprehensive care to 32,500 local residents and look forward to caring for even more people when they need it most. If you need immediate medical attention, but don’t need a lengthy hospital wait, consider Heal.


*Heal Specialist Urgent Care is open 7 days a week for all non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries. Purpose-built clinics are led by a highly experienced team of emergency specialists, doctors and nurses. Heal cares for people of all ages - from babies through to the elderly. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, always call 000.
