Location
Set among rolling plains, legendary rivers and snow-covered peaks, Cooma is the largest town in the Snowy Mountains region and the gateway to the state’s alpine area.
Getting there
Cooma is a little over 4 hours' drive from Sydney, about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Canberra, and 1.5 hours from Bega.
You can also fly into the Snowy Mountains Airport with Rex Airlines and Qantas from major Australian cities, only a short distance from Cooma.
Patient transfers and direct admissions
Southern's District Patient Flow Unit coordinates patient movements between hospitals in Southern NSW Local Health District, and to or from hospitals outside our district.
The unit manages transfers, coordinates conference calls between referring and accepting clinicians, confirms bed availability, and books patient transport so care is timely and safe.
To arrange a transfer or direct admission to one of our hospitals or our Hospital in the Home service, call 1800 999 880.
REACH
If you are worried about a recent change in your condition or someone you care for who is at Cooma Hospital and Health Service, you can use REACH to escalate your concerns if no one seems to be noticing.
REACH is available 24/7 in our hospitals and mental health services. Remember to start by speaking to the nurse or doctor first – they are the best people to help address your worries. If you still feel worried after speaking to them, you can call REACH.
Learn more about the REACH system and get your local number to call.
