| Background |
The Medicare UCC Program was first funded by the Australian Government in the October 2022–23 Budget. Since the initial announcement to establish 58 Medicare UCCs, the commitment has expanded to 137 UCCs nationally by 2025–26 with the March 2025 announcement of 50 new locations. Medicare UCCs aim to improve access to urgent care in non-hospital settings by reducing pressure on Emergency Departments and providing patients with access to urgent care services at no cost. These clinics support integration with local health systems and complement general practice. New locations in the CCQ region include Caloundra, Buderim and Gladstone. Bulk billing preference: The Australian Government has directed that, where local circumstances allow, Medicare UCCs be co-located with or partnered alongside fully bulk billing general practices. Preference will be given to providers offering full bulk billing, with local bulk billing rates considered during commissioning to help ensure affordable primary care remains accessible. |
| Opportunity | CCQ is seeking capable and experienced general practices to establish and commence urgent care services in the three (3) referenced locations in December 2025. Applicants may apply for one, two or all three locations. |
