Kangaroo Island Health Service

Kangaroo Island Health Service in Kingscote is the primary health facility on Kangaroo Island, operated by SA Health, providing acute hospital care, emergency services, and residential aged care for the island's community. The multi-purpose health service includes nursing home beds for older island residents who require residential care and cannot travel to the mainland, enabling them to age in their own community close to family and friends. The facility is a critical piece of community infrastructure on Kangaroo Island, serving a relatively small but dispersed island population.
