They liaise and translate issues with the nurses concerning health procedures and problems.

As with all isolated communities and towns the Royal Flying Doctor Service can be called upon if major problems do arise.

There is a 4WD Ambulance that is used to pick up or drop of patients too weak to walk to the clinic. The ambulance can also be used to transport patients to Alice Springs if the situation is not life threatening.
