Labor created Medicare because we understand the importance of healthcare for all.
I’m proud to be part of a Government that’s building on this legacy by establishing a network of 87 Medicare Urgent Care Clinics across the country, including one in Batemans Bay, which has been essential in taking the pressure off the South Coast health system.
These Clinics:
- Are open extended hours and on the weekend,
- Do not require appointments
- Are fully bulk billed with no out of pocket costs
- Provide medical care in urgent, but not life threatening situations.
South Coast Locals have told me how important access to quality, affordable health care is to them.
That’s why I’m calling for a second Medicare Urgent Care Clinic on the South Coast.
Sign the petition now, and let’s make this happen together.
