The Albanese Government is delivering three new Medicare Urgent Care Clinics, all now open in Marrickville, Burwood and Rouse Hill.

The clinics offer walk-in care for urgent but non-life-threatening conditions and patients will be fully bulk billed. The clinics are open seven days a week, and all operate for extended hours:

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, it's fantastic to be here at the opening of the Marrickville Urgent Care Clinic. This is one of 137 now we're rolling out right around the country. And more than a couple of million Australians have benefited from urgent care. We had young Matilda arrived here today, not feeling well. Mum's brought her in. Getting the care that is needed, when it's needed, for free. And all they need, of course, is this little piece of plastic, green and gold, their Medicare card. And that makes such a difference.

HOST: Joining us this morning is the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Good morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning to you.

HOST: Congratulations, now a married man.

HOST: Well, it's been a huge 24 hours in Australia, all eyes globally watching us as our ban was implemented, under sixteens are no longer on social media. And joining us to talk about this is our Prime Minister himself, Anthony Albanese.

HOST: Prime Minister, welcome back to the show.

ANTHONY ALBANESE,PRIME MINISTER: Good morning team. Glad to be with you.

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN HOST: It's a new day Australia for kids and social media. Any of the following ten platforms are off limits to anyone there under the age of 16. We're talking about Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Snapchat, YouTube, TikTok, Kick, Reddit, Twitch and X.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Thanks so much Wippa and good morning to everyone and thank you all for being here. I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet and pay my respect to elders, past, present, and emerging. Well, this is a day in which my pride to be Prime Minister of Australia has never been greater. This is world-leading. This is Australia showing enough is enough. And the world – including through, I note, some leading media global organisations who are here, just to confirm – is watching. Is watching and is following.

NAT LOCKE, HOST: But we just got a bit of a call from the recently married, and we're a bit dirty about the lack of invitation, Anthony Albanese. Good morning.

JOEL CREASEY, HOST: Morning, Prime Minister.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning.

LOCKE: Congrats on the marriage by the way. Congrats on the wedding. It looked gorgeous.

RAF EPSTEIN, HOST: We're joined now by the Prime Minister at ten minutes past nine. Anthony Albanese. Good morning. Well, I think - no, have we got you there, PM?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Yep.

EPSTEIN: We do now. We do now. Can hear you. Oh, good, good, good, good. The technology's working. Even though you're attacking the tech giants. For this to be a success, how many kids will need to lose their accounts?

HAMISH MACDONALD, HOST: The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, is here this morning. Very good morning to you.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Thanks very much, Hamish, and apologies to Sarah. Not a good career move to upset Sarah Ferguson.

MACDONALD: Yeah, just you wait. Next time you're on 7:30, Prime Minister, you might cop it.

PRIME MINISTER: I just want to make it clear that was your decision, not mine.

MATT SHIRVINGTON, HOST: Welcome back. Australia's landmark social media ban for under 16s is officially in effect, with kids booted off platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Snapchat as well.

NAT BARR, HOST: Well, joining us now live in the studio is Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Good morning to you.
