When to choose urgent care vs. emergency
Medicare Urgent Care Clinics are for those in-between injuries and illnesses. Unexpected things that can't wait for a regular GP appointment but don't need a visit to the hospital or emergency department.
If you're experiencing chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, stroke symptoms, or any life-threatening condition, call Triple Zero (000) or go to Nepean Public Hospital Emergency Department.
See your regular GP for:
-
Routine GP care or chronic condition management
-
Cervical screening or preventive health checks
-
Mental health crises (call Lifeline 13 11 14 or NSW Mental Health Line 1800 011 511, or Penrith Medicare Medicare Mental Health Centre)
-
Repeat prescriptions
-
Vaccinations
What to bring
-
Your Medicare card
