Snowtown Hospital and Health Services is part of the Yorke and Lower North Health Services. Our hospital is a 31 bed complex, with three beds for people receiving active medical treatment and 28 aged care beds. We have inpatient care in general medicine for adults and children, as well as palliative care.

Accident and emergency

A 24-hour service is provided.

When you arrive at accident and emergency, you will be seen by the duty nurse and triaged to collect information and assess your illness or injury. Patients who require urgent attention may need to be transferred to another hospital with additional services.

In a medical emergency, it is important not to 'self present' to hospital. SA Ambulance Service emergency medical dispatch support officers can provide advanced first-aid advice over the phone while an ambulance is on its way to you.

The on call doctors are private general practitioners and at some hospitals the doctors require payment of a gap fee. Please bring your Medicare card and concession cards when accessing emergency departments.

Visiting hours

Visiting hours are between 10.00 am to 2.00 pm and 4.00 pm to 8.00 pm. You can contact the hospital to arrange to visit outside these hours.

Car parking

Parking is available onsite.

Disabled access

The building is wheelchair accessible and there are toilets for people with disability. Please ask at Reception.
