MUNDARING GP Super Clinic will operate the Mundaring Medicare urgent care clinic to be located at 3 Mundaring Weir Road and expected to open by mid-February and be fully bulk billed.

The clinic will be open seven days a week operating extended hours and is expected to ease pressure on the St John of God Midland Public Hospital emergency department, where around 30 percent of presentations in 2024-25 were for semi-urgent or non-urgent conditions.

Renovations are currently underway in the neighbouring premises of the super clinic where the new urgent care clinic will open, and when completed the two clinics will be connected.

The Mundaring clinic will join the existing network of 11 Medicare urgent care clinics operating across Western Australia which have seen more than 260,500 presentations since the first site opened in June 2023.

Bullwinkel MP Trish Cook said she was proud to be part of a government that is strengthening Medicare and delivering real cost-of-living relief for the people of Bullwinkel.

“The new Mundaring urgent care clinic will deliver fully bulk billed urgent care that is accessible to everyone in our community, not just those who can afford it,” she said.

“As a nurse, I know how important it is to have access to urgent healthcare close to home and this clinic will make a tangible difference to the family budget and ensure that medical attention is available when it’s needed most.”

Federal Health Minister Mark Butler said the Albanese government is getting on with the job of delivering more Medicare urgent care clinics for people in Western Australia.

“The new clinic in Mundaring will be open seven days a week, extended hours and most importantly it will be fully bulk billed.

“This clinic will take pressure off the local hospitals, including St John of God Midland Public Hospital, and will fill an important gap in services across extended hours and over the weekend.”
