Today I want to take the opportunity to share the real world, tangible impacts of Labor funded Medicare urgent care clinics in my community of the northern suburbs of Adelaide. Felicity Robertson writes: 'Despite the staff being under significant pressure with many waiting patients, they were kind, compassionate, patient and thorough—all the more important, as my daughter has a disability and can easily feel overwhelmed in a medical environment. This clinic is an invaluable community resource, and I'm very grateful for the care we've received.' Quite frankly, I couldn't have put it better myself.

Jessica Goodwin also writes:

Nurse Paul was absolutely incredible! Making a worried parent feel much better. He was confident, calm & reassuring. Continued to check up on our 2 yr old who came in with a swollen hand as a result of a bite. Got us in first as sons hand was getting worse. Cannot recommend this clinic enough! Fast, reliable and easy! Thank you Paul!

This is what good Labor policy is all about—delivering accessible care via Medicare. We make your health our priority. We are proud of our Medicare urgent care clinics across Australia, and we will continue to support these to make sure that, when you need it the most, you can access the care and support you and your family need.
