About the organisation
Boort District Health (BDH) is a regional public hospital that provides community emergency and a range of health care services. A smaller hospital, BDH features less than 50 beds, which allows their staff to deliver quality, flexible and responsive health services to their patients. The organisation works on a vision of enrichment of health and wellbeing in the community and provides services which are individually tailored and very client focused. The staff are a highly ethical, hard-working team who are able to provide a range of specialised services including aged care, palliative care, physiotherapy, dental and podiatry. Boort District is currently in a growth period and is in the process of building a new Aged Care facility which will be focused on the delivery of high level, respectful care to its patients.
About the region
Situated in the picturesque rural farming area of the Loddon Shire in Victoria, Boort, also known as 'The Northern Oasis', is a charming little place with a cosy, close knit community feel. Located in the hills and surrounding Little Lake Boort, this setting is not only visually enticing but also naturally pristine. A perfect destination for the adventurer, there are many opportunities for camping, boating and other outdoor activities as well as day trips and childrens farm activities. Boort is only a short car trip from the central hub of Bendigo which boasts many popular restaurants and shopping malls, making it the perfect location to escape the inner-city lifestyle but still retain the convenience of city living.
