KINGAROY
Town has you covered for all medical needs
WHEN it comes to health services, Kingaroy punches well above its weight. The beautiful South Burnett town might only have a population of about 10,000, but it is home to a huge range of services designed to keep your family healthy enough to enjoy the active lifestyles the region is famous for. The Kingaroy Hospital is a well-serviced facility that includes an accident and emergency department, medical and surgical wards, maternity services, pathology, renal dialysis and medical imaging services. It also has a standalone dental service. Where the hospital is unable to provide a permanent service, many areas are covered by specialists who visit regularly covering areas including obstetrics and gynaecology, cardiology, diabetic services, hearing services, mental health and nephrology. A pacemaker clinic and specialist surgical clinics are also provided. A number of family practices cover all the basic health needs of families in need of a general practitioner including the South Burnett Medical Centre, Bunya Pines Family Practice, Taabinga Family Practice and Markwell Medical. When it comes to keeping up

appearances, there are a number of businesses offering an assortment of skin treatments and cosmetic procedures that will keep you camera-ready for years to come. Dental services are covered by both the hospital’s service as well as a private surgery, Dental Essentials. Once your teeth are sorted, you can get your hearing and eyesight tested as well, with both specialities covered in the private sector. Those suffering a few mobility issues are catered for, with both physiotherapy and several rehabilitation services on offer. If rehabilitation doesn’t have you completely fixed up, there is always the option of paying a visit to Kingaroy Home Aids and Health Equipment to pick up any number of contraptions to make life easier. Those needing a little assistance with mental health can drop in and see Christine Nissen and Associates for counselling services. Blue Care nurses and a respite centre offer seniors the option of in-home care and residential care for people with disabilities. So whether you have complex medical needs, just need a bit of maintenance or are looking to give your appearance a bit of a brush-up, Kingaroy has you covered.
