Nursing services
Nurses are highly skilled health workers with a wide range of experiences and backgrounds. They provide a wide range of services in our health facilities, clinics and the community.
Nurses coordinate and provide clinical care in all of our hospitals and multipurpose services.
Nurses are responsible for the emergency and first aid care in our remote facilities with support from the Royal Flying Doctor Service and NSW Ambulance.
Nurses organise care in clinics such as colonoscopy, renal and wound clinics at Broken Hill Health Service. They also support Royal Flying Doctor Service clinics in rural and remote communities.
They can visit people in their homes, for example to help with medication or wound care. They can also work in places like schools and community health centres.
The Community Health Centre in Broken Hill provides a child and family health nursing service. It offers drop-in clinics, child development checks, immunisations, and home visits for new babies.
