Priority Primary Care Centres

Priority Primary Care Centres provide GP led care to people who need urgent care, but not an emergency response.

Priority Primary Care Centres (PPCCs) provide GP-led care to people who need urgent care, but not an emergency response. Each PPCC is partnered with a busy emergency department.

PPCCs see people with low acuity conditions such as fractures, burns and mild infections.

The centres are open after hours (up to 16 hours a day, seven days a week), and have diagnostics on site or nearby.

PPCCs are being delivered in partnership with the six Victorian Primary Health Networks (PHNs). This includes collaboration on clinical resources to support high quality, safe and consistent services and communication resources to promote the new services to the Victorian community.
