There have been more than 20,000 appointments at the clinic across the decade. The walk-in service run from 2pm to 6pm on Saturdays, Sundays and pubic holidays for people with non-emergency requirements. It also runs in conjunction with the Medical Telephone Service.

Marathon Health’s executive of health services Bryan Hoolahan said the clinic had proven its value.

“This clinic has proven to be essential in reducing the burden on the ED by diverting clients to a more appropriate primary care alternative. The feedback and the results are a credit to the local GPs and after hours staff. It is evident through such a significant number of attendances that the clinic is well and truly fulfilling its purpose in the community,” he said.

Western NSW Primary Health Network CEO Andrew Harvey said he wanted to congratulate the doctors and the staff for ten years of great service.
