After Hours Care – Epichealth Ocean Grove

After-hours care is accessible primary healthcare outside of normal general practice opening hours and outside of hospital emergency departments.

Epichealth Ocean Grove After Hours Service provides care for people needing medical attention outside of normal general practice hours. Our after-hours healthcare practitioners can manage health conditions that require timely attention but do not need the level of care provided by an emergency department.

Please note that the after-hours service is not a substitute for your regular GP consultations, which you should continue as usual.

No appointment is required to access our after-hours service. Simply walk in during our operating hours, and one of our healthcare practitioners will see you as soon as possible. You do not need to be an existing patient of Epichealth to use this service; it is open to all members of the community.

For your convenience, Epichealth Ocean Grove After Hours Service also offers telehealth consultations.

Telehealth consultations are fully bulk billed, just like our in-clinic services, so there are no out-of-pocket costs for you. To access telehealth, simply call our after-hours clinic during operating hours, and our team will guide you through the process.

For life-threatening medical issues or severe pain, please call triple zero (000) or visit the emergency department of your nearest public hospital for immediate medical attention.

If your medical issue can wait until normal business hours, please contact one of our clinics directly. Visit the webpage of your nearest Epichealth GP clinic for more information or to book an appointment:
