Urgent Care Centre
Urgent Care Centre – 5352 9420
There has been increasing demand for the services of EGHS Urgent Care Centre with treatment provided for more than 4,000 patients who presented to the service in the past 12 months.



Our Urgent Care Centre provides a quality service through regularly monitoring and reviewing its performance against key performance indicators, and quality improvement activities.
As part of these quality activities EGHS has purchased 2 new defibrillators, 2 new thermometers, an ECG machine, and a new ventilator which has greatly enhanced our emergency service provision to critically ill patients. Staff working in the department continue to participate in on-going professional development and keep their skills up-to-date in the use of new technology.
Our helicopter landing pad facilitates patients being transferred to larger hospitals in the event they require more specialised emergency surgery, specialist care, or intensive care treatment.
The EGHS Urgent Care Centre continues to work closely with Rural Ambulance Victoria, Visiting Medical Officers, Grampians Psychiatric Services and other community health service providers to provide a quality service for our community.
Information for patients attending the Urgent Care Centre
