The Central Coast will receive two Medicare Urgent Care Clinics, one to service the north and one to service the south.
Medicare Urgent Care Clinics are a model of healthcare that are proven to be effective around the world, including in Canada and the United Kingdom.
The Albanese Labor Government has committed to rolling out 50 around the country.
Medicare Urgent Care Clinics will respond to patients that are too sick to see a GP and not sick enough for the emergency department.
Medicare Urgent Care Clinics will be bulk billed, open 7 days, and longer hours.
Dr Reid is committed to improving the quality and access to healthcare on the Central Coast, as an emergency department doctor this is a priority.
