Bringelly-Green Valley Urgent Care Clinic expressions of interest: NOW OPEN
15 Aug 2025
Eligible general practices, community health centres or Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services are invited to express their interest (EOI) in establishing a Medicare Urgent Care Clinic within the Bringelly-Green Valley GP catchment area (see map below).
The Bringelly-Green Valley clinic will be the fifth Medicare Urgent Care Clinic to be established within the South Western Sydney PHN footprint, alongside one state-funded Urgent Care Service.
Procurement overview
SWSPHN will commission one eligible general practice, community health centre or Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service (ACCHS) in the Bringelly-Green Valley GP catchment area(see map above), as defined by the Commonwealth Department of Health, Disability and Ageing (DHDA) to be established as a Medicare Urgent Care Clinic (UCC).
Proposals from new general practices will also be considered if they can demonstrate they will meet all Medicare UCC requirements and be fully operational by December 2025. DHDA has expressed a preference for a location central to the Bringelly-Green Valley area, however responses from all eligible service providers in this area will be considered.
DHDA has also expressed a preference for the Medicare UCC site to be co-located with, or partnered alongside, general practices that offer full bulk billing.
The Bringelly-Green Valley Medicare Urgent Care Clinic will be one of 50 new federally funded clinics opening across Australia. In total, 137 Medicare Urgent Care Clinics will be open nationally.
The Medicare Urgent Care Clinics program aims to ease the pressure on hospital Emergency Departments and give patients more options to see a healthcare professional when they have an urgent but not life-threatening need for care.
An Expression of Interest is available for download from Friday, 15 August 2025.
