Health care in Norfolk is of high quality and relatively inexpensive. The local hospital (Norfolk Island Hospital, open around the clock) and 21 small local clinics are equipped with all the necessary equipment for qualified medical care. However, if serious medical intervention is needed, an aircraft from Australia or New Zealand is called in to transport the victim to an Australian or New Zealand hospital with special equipment.

International health insurance is required, providing coverage in case of evacuation from the territory of the islands by air. Due to the fact that the island is very remote from land, and the fog that often forms over vast expanses of water, especially in warm and calm weather, can make flights impossible for several days, you should not visit the Norfolk area with advanced chronic diseases that may require emergency intervention outside the competence of local doctors.

Ambulance – 911 or 2-209
