GP Access returns

Continued from from page

GP Access clinics offer face to face and telehealth primary care services outside business hours. These services are bulk billed to anyone with a Medicare card, and delivered by GPs and Registered Nurses, reducing the barrier to access care, and preventing visits to the Emergency Department.

The Calvary Mater clinic will be open weekdays from 6pm - 10pm, Saturdays from 1pm - 8pm and Sundays from 9am - 4pm. Appointments must be booked via the GP Access call centre on 1300 130 147.

Mark Butler MP, Minister for Health & Aged Care who was on hand for the reopening of the clinic in late May said “The much-needed service will again be able to provide individuals and families the care they need, when they need it – and reduce pressure on local hospitals”.

Sharon Claydon MP Federal member for Newcastle said “After an incredible community campaign, more than 11,000 Novocastrians signed the petition to save this essential service. It was your strong advocacy that saw the Government’s record investment to restore GP Access to its full capacity.”

Sonia Hornery MP State Member for Wallsend
