Which private hospitals have emergency departments?

Reviewed and updated 3 April 2024

Some larger private hospitals have emergency departments.

When deciding whether to go to a public or private emergency department, consider:

  • Public hospitals usually have larger emergency departments to deal with more serious accidents and emergencies.
  • Private hospital emergency departments may be quieter and you may not have to wait as long as in a public hospital.
  • You have to pay to attend a private hospital emergency department and, even if you have Hospital Cover, you may face out-of-pocket costs.
