Macksville
A bustling river port until 1953, Macksville, on the banks of the Nambucca River, melds rural charm with a relaxed water-based lifestyle. Boaties and fisherfolk are lured to the sparkling waterways, while the beach at nearby Scotts Head is popular with surfers. The town is also brimming with history and heritage, from its Indigenous past to pioneering life.
Macksville District Hospital has a 28-bed acute inpatient unit and a 24-hour Emergency Department with medical coverage and telehealth capabilities to connect into Coffs Harbour Health Campus’ Emergency Department.
Two operating suites provide a range of surgical interventions and incorporating a weekly infusion day therapy unit. The hospital’s Midwifery services comprise a Midwifery Led Group Practice model and an onsite Tresillian Residential centre. A range of medical and allied health specialists regularly visit the facility. A variety of community services are provided both from within the facility and servicing the Nambucca Valley.
Within the wider Nambucca Valley, NSW Health operates a six-chair satellite Renal Dialysis unit situated at Nambucca HealthOne, which provides additional community services, along with the Bowraville HealthOne centre.
