More access to urgent care closer to home
We have commissioned 8 Medicare Urgent Care Clinics (UCCs) in south east Melbourne, improving access to care for people with conditions requiring urgent attention but not an emergency response.
The clinics offer free, walk-in treatment 7 days a week for extended hours, and care is available to everyone (with or without a Medicare card).
