Connect with emergency nurses and doctors via your smartphone, computer, or tablet. They can provide medical advice, prescribe medications, and arrange tests close to home.
Visit the patient section of the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department website to get started. The Virtual ED is free for all Victorians.
