Priority Primary Care Centres (PPCCs) aim to help keep emergency departments free for people who need them most. Located close to hospitals, PPCCs are for when people can't see their regular GP but don’t need to go to hospital. PPCCs provide free treatment to patients with urgent but non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses, such as sprains, broken bones, minor burns and mild infections. For more information on where to go when you are sick, click here.

Workforce expression of interest
General practitioners (including GP registrars), registered nurses, enrolled nurses and administration staff are invited to express their interest in supporting local PPCCs and the new Medicare Urgent Care Clinic (UCC) in Albury. It's important to note that the PPCCs and UCCs are not wanting to take workforce away from other services but are looking to support people who are interested in additional days or hours.
