Condobolin will soon have access to increased local medical services with the planned reopening of the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) South Eastern Medical Services on Melrose Street this month.
The previous centre closed its doors in 2019 with patient records and care transferred to Rural and Remote Medical Services (RaRMS) Health, located in the Condobolin District Hospital.
Unfortunately, due to the chronic shortage of permanent rural GPs, and the escalating cost of locum coverage, RaRMS was unable as a charity to afford to continue the program and it pulled out of the Western Plains in September last year.
