Know Your Treatment Options

There are a range of different care options available in Tasmania if you are unwell. This depends on your symptoms and how serious your illness is. Choosing the most appropriate service for your needs can help you get the right care sooner and help busy services. 

Devonport Medicare Urgent Care Clinic

Medicare Urgent Care Clinics (Medicare UCCs) provide medical care for illnesses and injuries that can be managed without a trip to the Emergency Department but cannot wait for a regular appointment with a GP. Medicare UCCs are bulk-billed and patients can walk in and be seen.

Devonport Medicare UCC is run by My Clinic Plus and located at 133 Steele Street, Devonport TAS 7310. It is open 7 days per week for extended hours.
