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.
In our region, there two Medicare Urgent Care Clinics (Ipswich and Toowoomba). There is also a Minor Illness and Injury Clinic, run by West Moreton Health (Ripley).
