What is Urgent Care?

Urgent Care is for when you need medical attention, but it’s not a life-threatening emergency and you can't see your GP. Anyone can access Urgent Care. There are Urgent Care locations across South Western Sydney. All urgent care is available 7 days a week, including public holidays.

When should I use Urgent Care?

  • Minor cuts
  • Sprains, fractures or sports injuries
  • Minor infections
  • Minor burns
  • Insect or animal bites
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Minor rashes
  • Cold, cough or flu
  • Earaches
  • Minor asthma attacks
  • Fevers or chills
