The Victorian Government is funding 25 Priority Primary Care Centres (PPCCs) across the state, to ease pressure on nearby hospital emergency departments.

The centres will provide GP-led care for urgent but non-life-threatening conditions such as mild infections, fractures and burns. They will also offer pathology and imaging services.

Shepparton Priority Primary Care Centre is the first PPCC in the Murray PHN catchment, that will open in late January.

Health service and general practice staff are invited to a quick information session, to meet the team, learn more about the scope of PPCCs, operational hours and referral pathways. There will also be opportunity for Q&A.
