What are Urgent Care Clinics?
Care when it’s urgent, but not an emergency. You can go to an urgent care service if you need urgent medical attention that's not life-threatening, and you can't wait to see your GP.
There are six Medicare Urgent Care Clinics (UCC) in South Eastern NSW, including Batemans Bay, Bega, Dapto, Queanbeyan, Shellharbour and Wollongong.
