Job description

Welcome to Baralaba Multipurpose Health Service, where small-town care makes a big impact! Our spacious facility provides patient-centred care in a warm rural setting, with most inpatient rooms offering private ensuites and unique country views. We support our local community with acute inpatient care, residential care, respite and palliative care, plus a 24-hour emergency service supported by Telehealth and emergency retrieval services.
