Access block began to affect hospitals in the Australian Capital Territory during the winter of 2000. Practice was seriously affected first at the Canberra Hospital, a 500-bed mixed adult/paediatric tertiary hospital, in 2000, and then in 2002 at Calvary Hospital (220 beds), the other hospital in the ACT with an emergency department (ED).


  • The Canberra Hospital, Canberra, ACT.
