A provider has been selected to operate the new Windsor Medicare Urgent Care Clinic, with the service expected to open in the coming months.
Following a competitive tender process led by the Nepean Blue Mountains Primary Health Network, MyHealth Kable Street has been confirmed as the successful operator. The clinic will be located at 2 Kable Street, Windsor.
The new clinic will operate seven days a week with extended hours and will be fully bulk billed, providing free walk-in care for people with urgent but non-life-threatening medical needs.
The Windsor Medicare Urgent Care Clinic is expected to help ease pressure on Hawkesbury District Hospital’s emergency department, where around 42 per cent of presentations in 2024–25 were classified as semi-urgent or non-urgent.
Federal Health Minister Mark Butler said the clinic would improve access to care while reducing strain on local hospitals.
“The Albanese Government is getting on with the job of delivering more Medicare Urgent Care Clinics for people in Windsor,” Minister Butler said.
“The new clinic will be open seven days a week, extended hours and, most importantly, will be fully bulk billed.
“This clinic will take pressure off local hospitals, including Hawkesbury District Hospital, and fill an important gap in services across weekends and extended hours.”
Federal Member for Macquarie Susan Templeman said the clinic was strongly backed by the local community.
“I am delighted that a provider has now been chosen for a Medicare Urgent Care Clinic in the Hawkesbury, and that they’ll be up and running in just a few months’ time,” Ms Templeman said.
“Thousands of people across the Hawkesbury joined my calls for a local Medicare Urgent Care Clinic in the lead-up to the federal election, because we know how much a free, walk-in service with extended hours for urgent but not life-threatening medical care is needed.
“Not only will this take pressure off our hard-working emergency department staff, but it will mean faster treatment for many people right here in Windsor.”
The Windsor clinic will become part of a growing network of 31 Medicare Urgent Care Clinics across New South Wales and more than 110 nationally.
Since the first clinics opened in June 2023, more than 2.3 million people have been treated across Australia, including over 457,800 patients in NSW.
