The Opportunity

Ballina District Hospital is a rural community hospital providing a wide range of public healthcare services. The Emergency Department is a 9 bed unit staffed 24/7 by experienced Doctors and Nurses. The Emergency Department is often very busy, and patients are seen in order of need rather than order of presentation. Unfortunately, delays may be experienced at times as staff care for very sick patients. We don’t like to leave people waiting for a long time; however, your patience when you do experience delays is appreciated.

The Location

Nestled on the northern coast of New South Wales, Ballina beckons with its serene blend of coastal charm and riverfront allure. Situated along the banks of the Richmond River where it meets the mighty Pacific Ocean, this picturesque town is a haven for both relaxation and adventure.

Ballina is renowned for its stunning beaches that stretch along the coastline, offering sun-kissed sands perfect for sunbathing, surfing, and beachcombing. The rhythmic waves of the ocean provide a soothing backdrop to leisurely walks or exhilarating water sports such as kayaking and paddle boarding. Nearby national parks invite exploration with their lush trails and panoramic views, while fishing enthusiasts find solace in the bountiful waters of the Richmond River.

Throughout the year, Ballina pulses with cultural vitality, hosting festivals that celebrate its coastal lifestyle and indigenous heritage. This close-knit community warmly welcomes visitors to share in its natural wonders and spirited events, making Ballina a cherished destination where every visit unfolds new adventures and cherished memories.
