00:55

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.
