How the health station's telephone service works

The health stations use a handy call-back system, so if the line is busy, staff will call you back as soon as they are free. Please call us only once.

Do as follows

The health stations’ telephone service operates Mon-Thu 8.00-16.00, and on Fridays and on public holiday eves from 8.00-15.00.

Once you have left us a call-back request, you don't need to contact us in any other channel.
You will be called back only twice. 

Listen to the end of the recording and follow the instructions.

If you are experiencing shortness of breath, chest pains or paralysis symptoms, suffering from a serious injury or in a life-threatening situation, call 112
