Procurement overview

South Western Sydney PHN is seeking to commission one existing general practice or community health centre in Fairfield LGA to be set up as a Medicare Urgent Care Clinic. The Fairfield Medicare Urgent Care Clinic will be one of 29 new federally-funded clinics opening across Australia. This builds on the 58 clinics already opened since July last year.
