Metro South Health's satellite hospitals now have a new name - satellite health centres.
The new name is based on feedback from frontline clinicians and primary care providers in a move to better reflect the services they deliver.
Our satellite hospitals will now be known as:
- Eight Mile Plains Satellite Health Centre, Maroo-goodji-ba
- Redlands Satellite Health Centre, Talwalpin Milbul.
Both centres will continue to deliver the same trusted services, and will have the same opening hours.
The Eight Mile Plains and Redlands satellite health centres each have a minor injury and illness clinic, which provides urgent walk-in care for conditions such as:
- fever, cough and cold
- rash and infection
- earache, toothache and eye problems
- broken bones and fractures
- minor cuts, wounds and burns
- minor head injuries.
It’s free to get urgent care for a minor illness or injury if you have a Medicare card. You don't need an appointment. We only treat babies older than 3 months.
In a life-threatening emergency, call Triple Zero (000) or go to your nearest emergency department.
The centres also offer the following services which can be accessed through a GP referral:
- kidney dialysis
- cancer day therapy
- specialist outpatient services.
