MPs tour region’s newest Medicare Urgent Care Clinic at Bankstown
10 Jul 2024
the latest state-funded Urgent Care Service to transition to a federally-funded UCC.
Bankstown UCC is the third UCC to open in our region with sites at Campbelltown and Liverpool also open seven days a week, from 8am to 8pm, for non-life-threatening conditions, with no appointment needed.
The clinics provide care for urgent health conditions which cannot wait for a patient’s usual GP but do not require emergency department attention, including broken bones, wounds, minor burns and infections and illnesses such as urinary tract infections and gastroenteritis.
A fourth Medicare UCC for our region will open in Fairfield, with general practices in the LGA invited to submit a Request for Proposal (RFP) to establish the service. The RFP will close on Monday, 22 July at 10am. Find out more
The Medicare UCCs are completely bulk billed, meaning more people can access high-quality care quickly, at no cost. The clinics aim to take pressure off the state’s busy emergency departments.
Bankstown Medicare UCC is located at Bankstown Medical and Dental Centre, 67 Rickard Road, Bankstown.
