Mona Vale Hospital

From 1 December 2025, Northern Sydney Local Health District (NSLHD) will only be accepting electronic referrals (eReferrals) from General Practitioners (GPs) through the HealthLink platform.
Outpatient Services in NSLHD will reject paper/fax/emailed referrals from GPs and request the referral is resubmitted by the GP through HealthLink.

The implementation of eReferrals is part of NSW Health’s broader digital eHealth strategy (https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/priorities/documents/ehealth-strategy.pdf) and offers several key benefits:

- A secure and reliable platform that reduces the risk of lost or delayed referrals
- Improved completeness and accuracy of clinical information, with the ability to add information directly from a patient’s clinical records
- Real-time status updates and tracking of referral progress
- Secure and timely communication between referring practitioners and hospital services

💡 KNOW WHERE TO GO FOR MINOR CARE 💡

The Mona Vale Hospital Urgent Care Centre provides walk-in treatment for minor illnesses and injuries, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is not an emergency department. Patients receive care from a skilled team of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals.

Please note: Urgent Care Centre is not an emergency department. It is designed for minor health concerns that need prompt care but are not life-threatening.

When to visit ⏱️
The Urgent Care Centre is designed for conditions that need timely attention but are not life-threatening, such as:
• Minor fractures or injuries
• Bites and stings
• Minor burns or scalds
• Cuts requiring stitches or glue
• Sprains, strains and other minor sports injuries

When to call 000 or go to an emergency department 🚑
If your condition is serious or life-threatening, call triple zero (000) or go directly to the Emergency Department at Northern Beaches Hospital, Frenchs Forest.

Choosing the right care 🏥
The Urgent Care Centre is here for minor issues, but if you’re ever unsure or feel your condition may be serious, it’s always safest to visit the Emergency Department. Getting the right care, in the right place, at the right time keeps everyone safe.
