What is 1813, and when should you use it?
1813 is the emergency service for citizens who need medical help outside of their own doctor's opening hours or in the event of sudden health problems. They can advise you and help you find the right treatment, whether you need an acute medical check-up, an assessment of your symptoms, or a visit to an emergency clinic.
Why are waiting times important?
The waiting time at 1813 gives an indication of how quickly you can get through for a healthcare assessment. During busy times - such as weekends, evenings or holidays - it can be extra busy, which can result in longer waiting times.
When keeping an eye on the waiting time, you can better plan whether to contact 1813 immediately, or whether you can possibly wait until a time when the phones are not as busy.
