Epichealth to launch new after hours medical clinic in Ocean Grove
Epichealth is pleased to announce the opening of a new after hours service at our Ocean Grove location, starting from November 2024. The service will be available at the Ocean Grove Marketplace Shopping Centre —where Epichealth Ocean Grove currently operates, offering after hours care for non-emergency medical conditions.
Epichealth After Hours Medical Clinic will operate from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm Monday to Friday, 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Saturdays, and 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Sundays. The clinic will provide bulk billing, and both in-clinic consultations and telehealth services. No appointment is needed, and you do not need to be an existing patient of Epichealth to access this service.
If you require urgent medical care during weeknights or weekends when your regular GP is unavailable, Epichealth After Hours Medical Clinic can provide timely care for non-emergency conditions.
After-hours services are designed to provide care for people needing medical attention outside of normal general practice hours. While these services are not intended for emergency situations requiring a hospital emergency department, they can manage problems that require timely attention but do not need the level of care provided by an emergency department. Please note that these after-hours services are not a replacement for your regular GP consultations, which should continue as usual.
For life-threatening medical issues or severe pain, please call triple zero (000) or go to the emergency department of your nearest public hospital for immediate medical attention.
