Emergency Codes 

Should you be involved in an emergency, a large number of people usually arrive very quickly. Steps you can take to help would be to clear the area of clutter, fetching the “crash trolley”; perhaps assist other patients or family members to an area where they can sit and wait.

For any type of medical or other emergency within the hospital use emergency buttons located on the wall in each patient room and is easy to identify. 

 

Codes are standard for all Victorian Hospitals and include the following:
