Locals in Lane Cove, Chatswood and surrounds have told me how important access to quality, affordable health care is to them.

We all need access to walk-in healthcare outside of business hours, because getting sick doesn’t follow a schedule. And, we need bulk-billied doctors without having to visit the emergency room. 

I believe that you shouldn’t have to chose between paying the bills and seeing a doctor. 

Labor created Medicare because we understand the importance of healthcare for all.

I’m proud to be part of a Government that’s built 87 Medicare Urgent Care Clinics across the country, including one that I fought for in Top Ryde.

These Clinics:

·  Are open extended hours and on 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. 

Our Community deserves the highest quality health care, and an Urgent Care Clinic to support local emergency departments.

That’s why I’m calling for a Medicare Urgent Care Clinic to take pressure off Royal North Shore Hospital.

Sign the petition now, and let’s make this happen.
