The Clinic, Hospital and Nursing home are part of the same complex. It is a 40 bed service (24-high care and 16-beds low care). Acute admissions are usually transferred to Mildura. The clinic enjoys a supportive relationship between the RN/Ward and the P/N – they are both there to support the GP. When a patient presents to the Urgent Care Department, the RN will assess and triage with the reception staff/GP to determine the urgency of treatment.

Further information about accommodation and meals:

Accommodation: The clinic’s recently renovated accommodation is first class. They have two units available, and both have three bedrooms with queen-size beds in the master, two single king beds in the second bedroom and the 3rd bedroom furnished as an office/study.

Meals: The pantry and fridge in the unit will be stocked with milk, butter, bread, cereal, coffee/tea/sugar, fruit and condiments before the locum placement. Midday and evening meals are available from the hospital, with options for a hot meal, dessert, soup, sandwiches, and cold meat/salad plates.
