Avoid waiting in an emergency department. Our service is free for everyone, with or without a Medicare card. 

The Geelong PPCC is one of 25 facilities announced for Victoria as part of an initiative by the Victorian Government to reduce wait times in hospital emergency departments. GPs and nurses will assess patients on arrival and those requiring it will receive urgent care. Anyone requiring emergency medical care, should still seek help from their local emergency department.

The Geelong PPCC is open 7 days a week – see opening hours above. It is located in the existing Eastbrooke Health Hub at 75 Roslyn Road Belmont. After 6pm and on weekends, access to the PPCC is from the Corio Street entrance. 

Care is available for everyone. Walk-ins are accepted. Please remember to bring your Medicare card with you.

Pathology services are available on-site Monday to Friday, 8am – 4pm. Imaging services are located nearby.

In an emergency, you should call Triple Zero (000)

  • becoming agitated, confused or very drowsy
