Mid-West Health, Wudinna provides healthcare services to the Le Hunte district, covering an area of 5,393.8 square kilometres with a current population of around 1600.

The Wudinna Site of Mid-West Health consists of 19 beds, including Trudinger Residence. The services provided include residential aged care services (including short-term respite care), 24-hour emergency and outpatient services, low risk inpatient services in the domains of General Practice Medicine (as per the Department of Health protocol for low volume hospitals).

Whilst Trudinger (Hostel) has been designed with the ability to be a totally secure environment, it is intended that those in need of this level of care will on a more permanent basis be offered accommodation in our specialist unit in Elliston.
