This hospital is the main referral centre for the region’s population of 10,000 and has a broader catchment of around 35,000 people.

The health service has recently received funding for hospital upgrades and is also in the process of developing a rural clinic school where there will be an opportunity to deliver undergraduate and postgraduate education.

This fully integrated rural public health service offers a wide range of services including acute inpatient, medical, surgical, maternity services, emergency services, rehabilitation, aged residential, domiciliary, primary care, dental services and general practice, including outreach programs to several small outlying communities.

The Emergency Department of this facility offers a 24 hour service with Hospital Medical Officers on staff with additional on-call support from General Practitioners, Anesthetists, Surgical Consultants and nurses.

The active department has been enhanced by the recent funding and will allow you the opportunity to collaborate with a strong, cohesive team of multidisciplinary professionals as well as leading and guiding junior medical staff.

You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with the Emergency Department Clinical Lead in the ongoing growth and development of clinical excellence.
