Karumba has been reclassified as a primary health care centre under new guidelines for rural and remote health facilities being introduced across Queensland.
Karumba offers nurse-led clinic facilities from Monday to Friday with services including primary healthcare, emergency stabilisation and pathology collection, as well as ambulance services and a 24-hours a day, seven-days a week emergency on-call service.
Karumba is staffed by a director of nursing with an additional registered nurse from May to October during the tourist season each year when the population increases by 2000-3000 people.
A medical officer provides a general practice clinic 12-hours per week and appointments can be made through Karumba.
Telehealth services link patients and staff with other facilities via video-conference and have seen real cost savings and demonstrated patient care benefits.
Karumba provides financial assistance through the Patient Travel Subsidy Scheme to eligible patients who need to travel to other health services for procedures and tests not available locally.
