Melbourne is experiencing dangerous temperatures today, with highs reaching 45°C and even hotter conditions across parts of Victoria. 🥵

To stay safe:
🏠 Stay cool indoors
💦 Drink water regularly (even if you don’t feel thirsty)
📞 Check in on family, neighbours, friends and pets
🚷 Avoid outdoor activity - today is NOT a beach day

The safest place to be today is inside.

Call 000 immediately if you, or someone you are with, shows any signs of heatstroke (such as sudden rise in body temperature, seizures, confusion or staggering).

Main works are underway on the Austin Hospital Emergency Department (ED) upgrade!

Once complete, the new ED will support an additional 30,000 emergency patients each year.

Naomi Osaka made headlines for her Australian Open outfit.

We’re here to say: it’s also very summer-approved!

✔ Wide-brim hat
✔ Coverage
✔ Portable shade

When UV levels are high, covering up is one of the easiest ways to protect your skin – sunscreen included.

Between Christmas leftovers and the New Year countdown, our social media channels may not be monitored as closely as usual.

It’s been a big year sharing the incredible work happening across Austin Health - and while we love doing it, the Comms team is taking a short festive breather. 😮‍💨

If you need urgent help, pls don’t slide into our DMs (sadly, we’re not qualified to diagnose rashes).

📞 In an emergency, call 000.
🏥 For non-urgent care, your GP, the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department, an Urgent Care Clinic or Nurse on Call can help.

Thanks for bearing with us - and here’s to a safe and happy break!

For many, Christmas is spent at home with loved ones.

For others, it’s spent caring - or being cared for - here at Austin Health.

To our staff, patients, families and community (especially those spending the day with us!), we wish you a safe, gentle and Merry Christmas 🎄

To Drew's dismay, we made him play that cue-card guy (though he didn't mind appearing opposite Keira Knightley... in spirit).

Anyway... with any luck this Christmas season, your biggest drama won't need our Emergency Department.

If it's not life-threatening, here are some ED alternatives you'll love, actually 👀🎄

👉 Victorian Virtual Emergency Department (VVED)
👉 Heidelberg Urgent Care Clinic
👉 Your GP
👉 Nurse on Call

Leave emergencies for ED - but if you need us over the festive season, we're here 💚

There's still time to make a gift before Christmas 🎁

Your donation today helps equip our new Endoscopy Centre, giving patients more precious time with the people they love, just like Salih.

We’ve given Salih more time and he’s thriving.

Give the gift of time this festive season, donate now: bit.ly/44kLZUy

After 52 years of marriage, Margaret and Gary are celebrating a Christmas they’ll never forget.

When Gary needed a kidney transplant, Margaret didn’t hesitate - even losing 17kg to become eligible to donate.

Now recovering together after a successful living donor transplant at Austin Hospital, Gary is looking forward to a new lease on life: more time in his garden, more time with his birds, and more time to watch the footy.

“I just can’t believe what she has done for me. It’s incredible. I appreciate it so much. I feel like a different person already. How can I ever thank her for that?” said Gary.
