May 1st, 2023Worth knowing about: priority primary care centres

In case you missed it – here are now 21 Priority Primary Care Centres in Victoria, including Ballarat which opened in December.
The centres accept walk-ins and bookings, with doctors and nurses on site to treat
common conditions like mild infections, lacerations, fractures and burns, as well as
diagnostic services including pathology and medical imaging.
The Ballarat Priority Primary Care Centre, operated by UFS Medical and at 4
Windermere Street, is open from 10am to 10pm every day of the year for urgent care
when it’s not an emergency. This includes weekends and all public holidays.
Treatment is free, even if people are not eligible for a Medicare card. Patients can
either walk in, or phone the centre on 4320 0820. www.ballaratppcc.com.a
