Medicare Urgent Care Clinics are located across Australia and make it easier to access care for urgent, but not life-threatening, illnesses and injuries.
Going to a Medicare Urgent Care Clinic means you don’t have to wait at your local emergency department.
They are:
- bulk billed, so bring your Medicare card
- walk-in, so you don’t need an appointment or referral
- open early and late every day
- staffed by GPs and nurses.
Visit your local Medicare Urgent Care Clinic if you have an illness or injury that can’t wait for a regular appointment with a GP, but doesn’t require a trip to hospital.
If you or a loved one has a life-threatening injury or illness, call triple zero or go straight to your nearest emergency department. To find your nearest Medicare Urgent Care Clinic, visit health.gov.au/MedicareUCC.
