Not sure when to present to the Emergency Department?

Please note that SWH are always here for your emergency care, but during peak times there can be an extended waiting period for minor injuries and common illnesses. Check out our Emergency Care page for more information about when to present to ED and alternative services which may be better suited to you.

Are you transferring from Portland District Health to deliver your baby?

Portland District Health have announced that they will be suspending their birthing services for a 3 month period from from 15 March 2022 and will review this arrangement every 6 weeks until they can resume.
