flag Australia opens new urgent care clinics in Melbourne and Brisbane to reduce hospital ER visits, offering free, walk-in care for non-emergencies.

flag The Northcote Medicare Urgent Care Clinic in Melbourne and a new clinic in Brisbane have opened as part of the Australian government’s nationwide rollout of urgent care services. flag Offering free, bulk-billed care for non-emergency conditions like infections, cuts, and sprains, the clinics operate seven days a week with no appointments, aiming to reduce pressure on hospital emergency departments. flag Part of a broader initiative to ensure 80% of Australians live within a 20-minute drive of a clinic, the program has treated over 2.4 million patients since June 2023, with Victoria seeing a 6.1% drop in non-urgent ED visits. flag These clinics, supported by local health networks and community partners, provide integrated care and improve access for underserved populations.
