Bundaberg Medicare Urgent Care Clinic

Medicare Urgent Care Clinics provide bulk-billed care and treatment for minor acute conditions that don’t require emergency hospital admission, when you're unable to see your regular GP.

Medicare Urgent Care Clinics are fully bulk-billed, and no out-of-pocket fees apply for treatment provided within the Clinic. Patients must present a valid Medicare card to use the service.

The Bundaberg Medicare Urgent Care Clinic is open to everyone on presentation of a valid Medicare Card. You do not need to be a patient of the IWC Medical Practice.

Attending the Bundaberg Medicare Urgent Care Clinic does not automatically make you a patient of IWC Medical Practice. Once you have been discharged from the Medicare Urgent Care Clinic, you will be referred to your regular GP or another GP, if you haven’t identified having a regular GP, for follow-up care.

Your regular GP will also receive a copy of your Discharge Summary and be copied in on all diagnostic test results and referrals.

You do not need to make an appointment to attend the Bundaberg Medicare Urgent Care Clinic. Walk-ins are accepted. Patients will be triaged and admitted to the service, if suitable.

Yes, Medicare Urgent Care Clinics can treat all age groups for non-life-threatening conditions when a regular GP appointment cannot be secured. For infants and children under the age of 2 years, please call ahead of arrival to speak with a Nurse who can determine suitability for our Clinic.
