18 months after it was forced to close, the GP Access After Hours Clinic at the Calvary Mater Hospital will reopen at the end of the month.
The service was reduced in December 2021 due to funding shortfalls.
The announcement comes after the Federal Government announced a record $5.5 million investment to restore GP Access to its full capacity.
The clinic will re-open on Monday the 29th of May and will be operational on Weekdays from 6pm-10pm, from 1pm-8pm on Saturdays, and from 9am-4pm on Sundays.
Opening hours at the GP Access Centre in Toronto will also increase on Saturdays, with the clinic operating from 1pm-8pm from June 3rd.
Staff at Hunter Primary Care have thanked community members and Federal Member for Newcastle Sharon Claydon for their work advocating to re-establish the service.
