Wallaroo Hospital and Health Services

Even though I would not recommend having your baby here and been looked after by the midwives here. I just wanted to state how fantastic the emergency apartment team was with my 2 children. They did fantastic work and I couldn't be more greatfull.

Terrible experience here a few months ago. My son had Pericarditis , but they did not take him seriously because he had been drinking. Despite being bought in by ambulance and this being in the report from the Ambos. Told to be quiet whilst he was holding his chest and struggling to breathe. The Dr said, keep it down, we actually have people here that are really sick. Wouldn't organise an XRay as they didn't believe it was worth doing and didn't want to disturb the radiographer too early that morning. Sent him home and I took him back 3 hours later as he was worse. Dr said, oh great, he's back, get him looked at and get him out. Disgusting, unprofessional and judgemental and I no longer have faith in this hospital. When I rang and complained I was told, we will try to do better next time. Hopefully we will never need a next time whilst at our holiday house.

While previously it has been a mixed bag for visits to this hospital, we visited recently and received very good care. Took Mr 1 year old to the emergency department as it was a public holiday and there were no other options. The emergency department triage nurse was wonderful and was even attentive to our 2 year old as well. We saw the dr relatively quickly and he seemed lovely (and competent) too. We were impressed by the improved standard of care.

Possibly the worst hospital I've ever seen and I've been nursing since 1986.The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Inconsistency of care, misleading statements from staff, cover ups and what is almost deceptive behaviour. Took a full week to diagnos my mother's stroke, past the time for optimal treatments

Absolutely disgusted in the way we was treated tonight, my daughter has had gastro, extreme tummy pain, lethargic the last 6 days and to be sent home saying that we aren’t feeding her properly and she needs to see a paediatrician ( what a joke). Wallaroo hospital missed her tethered spinal cord in her scan and when she was born. Wouldn’t even give it 1 star

Hospital facilities are average. Hard to get a Doctor on weekends. Radiology department is very professional. Biggest problem is getting an appointment in a timely manner. Tends usually to be a trip to Gawler instead.

Staff are RUDE. Absolutely no compassion. Called ahead to bring my 2 year old in with an injury, were told there was a very long wait, that's fine. When we got there, were told about a covid case in the waiting area so we decided not to risk it and leave. This was late at night so nothing else was open to buy any gauze or disinfectant to treat the wound ourselves. Asked the hospital if we could have some. They denied. Disgusting hospital.

On that day very quick. Staff were very good

My wife Lyndall had a 2 night stay in Wallaroo Hospital in June and from the lady at the front desk, the Doctors, the Nursing staff, the Cleaners and the kitchen staff she received very professional and excellent care.Everybody was very friendly and the food was lovely.A week after her discharge she even received on letter from their Dietician Jo explaining her illness and how to manage her diet.We were very impressed with the HospitalThank you Gerry and Lyndall Brine

Nothing but praise for the Emergency section. Admittedly there was virtually no one there when we came to have my wife's arm pain attended to but nevertheless nurses were friendly and the Dr from South Africa (I think) was very professional and thorough in his examination and help. We were very impressed with our experience.
