Urgent Care Centre

Please note if it is an emergency and you require an ambulance please phone 000

​

Corryong Health Urgent Care Centre (UCC) has two bays. The UCC operates 24 hours a day to provide the community with necessary health care for the acutely ill and injured and is attended by a registered nurse.

Upon arrival to the UCC, a nurse will assess your medical condition and assign a ‘triage’ category. You will be asked some questions about yourself including your name, date of birth, your address, Medicare number and what issues brings you to Urgent Care.

As a public hospital we have a number of different doctors. Doctors are rostered on as required and are also available 24/7 via our Telehealth partnership with Albury Wodonga Health.

You may be seen and treated by a Rural Isolated Practice Endorsed Nurse (RIPERN). A RIPERN is a registered nurse who has completed further training to manage a wide range of injuries and medical conditions, and can give you certain medicines. If you need ongoing care, you will be referred on to a doctor.

Your condition will determine whether you will be admitted to the hospital, transferred to another hospital or be discharged home.

Other Services

• RIPERN Nurses

In our Health Service we have four RIPERN nurses. RIPERN stands for Rural and Isolated Practice Endorsed Registered Nurse. These are registered nurses with a Scheduled Medicines Endorsement placed on their registration by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulations Agency. The endorsement allows RIPERNS to provide management for a wide range of injuries and medical conditions where there is no or limited access to GPs, nurse practitioners, paramedics or pharmacists. This is of great benefit to us as once a month, we have a “Remote Dr On Call” weekend and these nurses can help bridge that gap, particularly when we have people presenting at our Urgent Care Centre
