If you cannot wait to see your usual doctor, nurse or healthcare provider, or you do not have one, go to an after hours or urgent care medical centre. They can help you with things like bad cuts, sprains or breaks, minor head injuries, or if you are feeling really sick. You do not need an appointment but might have to wait.
There is no after hours at Botany SuperClinic, but East Care Urgent Care is located on the same site. East Care provides A&E walk-in for accident and medical services.
