WHEN THE EVERYDAY
TURNS URGENT

Hospital waiting times are a hot topic in Western Australia, but not every injury needs a trip to the emergency department. St John WA Urgent Care is for the slips, spills and stings that need immediate attention but not at a hospital.

To reduce pressure on emergency wards and get Western Australians the right care fast, we needed to do two things. First, educate them on what’s urgent but not an emergency, then direct them to the right place.

We took some of the most common injuries and illnesses treated by our Urgent Care clinics and used them to show how the everyday can turn urgent.
