Evidence-led starting points for housing, schools, healthcare, training and employment decisions.

What healthcare is available locally?
WA Country Health Service lists 24-hour emergency care and a range of inpatient, outpatient and visiting services at Kalgoorlie Health Campus. Check a specific service or appointment directly. Call 000 for a life-threatening emergency.
