Code Yellow Lifted

NT Government

The Code Yellow at Alice Springs Hospital has been lifted.

The Code Yellow was issued in response to an increase in the number of complex medical presentations and patients with flu-like symptoms. Due to a number of measures being implemented, demand pressures have eased and patient flow at the hospital has improved.

We thank the community for their patience and kindness during these periods of high demand.

If you are experiencing a health emergency, call Triple Zero (000) and ask for an ambulance.

The Alice Springs Medicare Urgent Care Clinic provides urgent medical care for non-emergencies.
