New emergency care option for the Latrobe Valley

Latrobe Priority Primary Care Centre (PPCC) provides free GP-led care to people who need urgent care, but not an emergency response.

They provide urgent care for injuries and illnesses including:

• mild to moderate infections
• fever
• pain when urinating
• suspected fractures and sprains
• back and muscle pain
• minor cuts, burns, and insect or animal bites
• heartburn, vomiting, nausea
• headaches, migraines and brief fainting
• constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain
• allergies and rashes
• light bleeding in the first trimester of pregnancy
• mild to moderate asthma attacks, coughs and other respiratory symptoms

No appointment is needed.

The Latrobe PPCC may prove a better alternative to the hospital emergency department for you and your family if you need urgent – but non-life threatening – care.

The key details are:

• Opening hours: 7 days per week, from 7:30am to 11:30pm
• Address: 42-44 Fowler Street, Moe
• Phone number: 5127 9111
