The Kimba Campus is part of the Eyre, Flinders and Far North Health Services. Kimba is a 20 bed health unit serving Kimba and the surrounding rural community. There are 12 beds for patients receiving active medical treatment and eight aged care beds. We also have an 11 bed hostel for clients requiring a low level of care, and eight independent living units.
COVID-19 home-based testing service
The home-based COVID-19 testing service operates Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (not public holidays) from 2.00 to 4.00pm. A GP referral is required. Outside of these hours, patients are recommended to self-isolate and wait for the testing clinic to open. If symptoms are mild to moderate, patients are encouraged to phone GP or ED. If symptoms are severe, phone 000 and advise symptoms. For more information, phone: 1300 334 222
Due to COVID-19, changes to services, visiting hours and visitor access now apply.

Accident and emergency
This is a 24-hour service. When you arrive at the emergency department you will be seen by the duty nurse to collect information and assess your illness or injury.
In a medical emergency, it is important that you do not ‘self present’ to hospital. SA Ambulance Service emergency medical dispatch support officers can provide advanced first-aid advice over the phone while an ambulance is on its way to you.
Kimba has a volunteer ambulance service and access to the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
