Except in the case of an emergency, the RCH is unable to provide medical care to adults. If you are feeling unwell or need to seek medical attention, you can attend the Emergency Department at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, approximately 1km along Flemington Road towards the CBD. The entrance is located on Grattan Street. Alternatively, a list of General Practice clinics in the nearby area is available from The Family Hub on the Ground floor (Beach) of the North Building.
