Residents now have access to a new Medicare Urgent Care Clinic on 2 Kable St, Windsor with the service officially opening its doors today.
The clinic is designed to provide free, walk-in urgent care for a range of non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, helping to take pressure off local hospital emergency departments and improve access to timely treatment.
Medicare Urgent Care Clinics provide bulk-billed care for patients with a Medicare card, with no appointment needed. The clinics are staffed by doctors and nurses and are aimed at treating conditions that need attention quickly but are not emergencies.
Importantly for the community, the clinic will be open every day from 8am to 10pm, giving residents access to medical care outside standard GP hours.
Other urgent care options across the region are located in the Penrith and Rouse Hill.
Common reasons people may visit include minor infections, cuts and wounds, sprains, minor burns, fevers, ear infections and other urgent medical concerns.
The new clinic is expected to be a welcome addition for families and residents who struggle to access a GP appointment at short notice, particularly after hours and on weekends.
Phone number for the Windsor Medicare Urgent Care Clinic is (02) 4577 5622
Patients are still being reminded to call Triple Zero (000) or attend an emergency department in the case of serious or life-threatening conditions.
