Tamworth's Urgent Care Clinic

2023

Northwest Health is thrilled to announce that our Tamworth premises have been selected as the location for the new Urgent Care Clinic (UCC), which is set to open its doors at the end of October 2023. This innovative Medicare UCC will operate with extended business hours, allowing us to accept walk-in patients who require immediate attention. One of the standout features of the clinic is that it will offer bulk-billed services, ensuring that patients can access high-quality medical care without incurring out-of-pocket expenses.

Quality Healthcare with Extended Hours and Bulk-Billed Services

The establishment of this clinic is part of the Australian Government’s broader commitment to launching 58 Medicare UCCs across the country, with 14 locations designated in New South Wales. These clinics are poised to play a crucial role in delivering quality medical care to the residents of Tamworth and the surrounding areas, enhancing the overall healthcare landscape.

Comprehensive Medical Services for Non-Life-Threatening Conditions

The Tamworth Medicare Urgent Care Clinic will provide a comprehensive range of essential services to address non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses. By doing so, it allows local hospitals to focus their resources on more serious, life-threatening conditions, ultimately improving patient care across the board. We believe that this new facility will significantly benefit the community, ensuring that residents have timely access to the healthcare they need when they need it​.
