The Albanese Government is delivering for residents in Windsor with the opening of the Windsor Medicare Urgent Care Clinic.
Located at 2 Kable Street, Windsor, the new Windsor Medicare Urgent Care Clinic is now open extended hours, seven days a week.
No appointment is needed, patients can walk in and all services are bulk billed.
The highly trained doctors and nurses are equipped to treat a range of conditions and injuries that need urgent attention but aren't life threatening, including cuts, viral infections, or a sprained ankle.
The Windsor Medicare Urgent Care Clinic will ease pressure on the busy Hawkesbury District Hospital, where around 42 per cent of presentations in 2024-25 were for semi-urgent or non-urgent conditions.
The clinic will join the existing network of 33 existing UCCs across New South Wales with a further two to be established across the state in 2026.
This is part of the Albanese Government's commitment to deliver more Medicare Urgent Care Clinics across the country with 4 out of 5 Australians to live within a 20 minute drive from their local clinic.
Labor's Medicare Urgent Care Clinics have already seen over 2.4 million presentations since the first sites opened in June 2023, including over 510,800 presentations to New South Wales Medicare Urgent Care Clinics.
Over one in four of these were patients aged under 15 years old, more than one in four were on weekends, and over one in five were weekday after hours visits (at or after 5pm).
The Windsor Medicare Urgent Care Clinic is commissioned by Nepean Blue Mountains Primary Health Network.
