A doctor in Queensland’s North Burnett says if the region can establish telemedicine facilities, it will be one of the best resourced rural areas in Australia.
Medical superintendent Dr Brad Murphy says he is working to establish the facility with a Brisbane psychiatrist for patients in the Eidsvold region, west of Bundaberg.
Dr Murphy says the region has adequate facilities to support the service and he is currently investigating funding options.
“If we can roll those services out, Eidsvold is going to be one of the best resourced rural areas in Australia and there’s some exciting things happening and the community are embracing it greatly,” he said.
