This after-hours service provides essential medical treatment and advice outside regular GP hours, ensuring residents have access to healthcare when needed.
The Oakdale Healthcare Centre after-hours service began operating last month following the successful procurement of the Wollondilly after-hours expression of interest.
Commissioned by South Western Sydney PHN, the centre now provides after-hours GP services and medical treatments to ensure continual access to suitable healthcare for the Wollondilly community.
SWSPHN Chief Executive Officer, Dr Keith McDonald PhD, highlighted the importance of the service in addressing a critical primary healthcare gap in the region.
“This service was established after identifying the need for dedicated after-hours healthcare for Wollondilly residents” he said.
“The after-hours service will ensure the community has access to high-quality healthcare when their regular GP is unavailable, reducing strain on hospital emergency departments and allowing emergency rooms to be for emergencies only.”
Patients who do not regularly attend Oakdale Healthcare Centre can have their consultation details forwarded to their usual GP to ensure continuity of care.
The after-hours services at Oakdale Healthcare Centre operate from 9am to 3pm on Saturdays, 10am to 2pm Sundays, and telehealth available from 6pm-9.30pm Monday to Friday on 4659 6364
All after-hours patients will be bulk-billed for the service for both face-to-face and telehealth consultations.
The centre is located at 5/1520 Burragorang Rd, Oakdale.
To make an appointment, Wollondilly residents can walk in, book online, or contact the practice at 4659 6364
