Emergency department
The Footscray Hospital Emergency Department (ED) is open 24 hours a day.
Patients are assessed on arrival, and treatment is prioritised based on medical urgency. Those with severe injuries or illnesses will receive care first.
Virtual emergency department
For non-life-threatening conditions like infections, nausea, minor cuts, rashes, burns, or fractures, consider the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department (Virtual ED) - a free, 24/7 video-based healthcare service.
Connect with emergency nurses and doctors via your smartphone, computer, or tablet. They can provide medical advice, prescribe medications, and arrange tests close to home.
Visit the patient section of the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department website to get started. The Virtual ED is free for all Victorians.
