When you call you will speak with a nurse who will triage your medical problem. They may advise that it would be acceptable to wait and see your regular GP the following day.
If they advise you to see your GP the following day please access one of our emergency on the day bookings. These appointments become available online after midnight or by calling from 7.45am.
CALMS is only open afterhours:

- 24 hours on weekends and public holidays.
CALMS clinics are operate until 11pm at North Canberra Hospital Bruce and The Canberra Hospital. After 11pm a doctor is available to visit at home if you need urgent attention.
CALMS send the practice consultation notes the following morning so your GP is informed of your care.
