1800 IMSICK (1800 467 425)
1800 IMSICK is a toll free after - hours nationwide 1800 telephone service available for all permanent Australian Defence Force members within Australia. This service is not intended as an emergency number. The IMSICK line provides advice to ADF personnel regarding the location of the nearest Defence health unit should health care be urgently required. If a Defence health unit is not available locally then the IMSICK line will provide a referral number for the ADF member to attend a civilian health service for urgent health care. Members attending civilian health services remain responsible to notify their servicing health unit of the occurrence.
