Nursing Post

Visitors can head to the Nursing Post in the case of accidents and emergencies as well as primary healthcare services, including x-rays, limited medication supplies and pathology collection. 

The Nursing Post is staffed by a nurse practitioner/clinical nurse manager, two clinical nurses and an administration assistant. The nurses have extensive knowledge and skills in advanced assessment, diagnosis, nursing care and evaluation. During other peak periods, the Rottnest Island Nursing Post receives additional medical support from Fiona Stanley Hospital Emergency Department Consultants. 

The team work closely with the Rottnest Island Authority, WA Police and the Rottnest Island Fire and Emergency Service to provide coordinated emergency responses.

The Nursing Post also has access to a specially-equipped ambulance to retrieve patients when necessary. Patients who need advanced ongoing care are transferred to mainland tertiary hospitals.
