Mernda urgent care centre

 Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:50): I am very pleased to advise the house that the new Mernda urgent care centre at the Mernda Community Hospital is now up and running. Open from 12 pm to 8 pm Monday to Friday at 35 Flourmill Drive in Mernda, the new urgent care centre can be used for patients who need assistance with sprains, minor burns, minor fractures, infections, paediatric urgent care and other low-acuity urgent needs. It offers fast treatment for non-life-threatening illness or injury, with no appointment or referral needed – just walk right in. Last week I had the opportunity to visit the urgent care centre and saw firsthand how many people were using it. I spoke with nurses about the kinds of ailments that locals have already presented with, including kids with fractured arms and sprains.
