Medicare Urgent Care Clinics
Medicare Urgent Care Clinics (UCCs) provide free, urgent treatment for conditions that aren't life threatening.
They are for when you can't see your GP, but you don't need to go to the emergency department. Radiology and pathology services are available onsite and no out of pocket expenses apply.
Medicare UCCs provide walk-in, bulk-billed care for extended hours, seven days a week for minor injuries and illnesses, such as:
- minor infections
- minor fractures, sprains, sports injuries and neck and back pain
- urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
- minor cuts
- insect bites and rashes
- minor eye and ear problems
- respiratory illness
- gastroenteritis
- mild burns.
Medicare UCCs won’t be able to see people for major trauma or complex conditions.
Your doctor should be your first point of contact for non-emergency, routine and preventative health care.
