Services provided:
Bilby Bush Nursing Hospital has a clinic attached, where Dr Fisher and Dr Tran run their general practice. There are four nurses who maintain the services for primary health assessment and treatment, including regular dialysis in a small 4 bed unit, an aged care section and maternity and child health services. There is an emergency section for assessment, but patients will then need to be sent to Bendalong Regional Hospital as there are limited beds.
There is a public outpatients clinic run every Wednesday, with the two local doctors attempting to deal with a range of outpatients, while attempting to run what is becoming a very busy practice.
