Transport for non-emergency patients

• Health Transport Services (HTS) transports non-emergency patients across Tasmania.
• It operates from five base stations.
• HTS operates from 7:30 am - 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday.
• The phone number is 1300 513 997.

The role of HTS

• HTS is a pre-booked transport service for non-emergency public patients.
• There is no cost to the patient.
• We use HTS when other transport is not suitable.
• Most transfers are between hospitals or for discharges to nursing homes.
• You can refer a patient for HTS transport for outpatient appointments, discharge or palliative placement.
• Members of the public cannot access the service directly.
• We do not generally transport patients to or between private health care facilities.
