Urgent Care Initiatives in Western Sydney

In Western Sydney there are two types of urgent care services available: NSW Health Urgent Care Services and Medicare Urgent Care Clinics.
Both provide free treatment when you are not feeling well or have a minor injury. Trained medical staff will help you get the treatment you need faster and keep our busy emergency departments free for those with a serious injury or illness.
