Norfolk Island lies in the South Pacific Ocean, 1500 kilometres from the eastern Australian coast. It is about

two hours flying time from Brisbane and two and a half hours from Sydney, the nearest major cities.

Norfolk Island is a quiet paradise, often overlooked yet unforgettable once found. The breathtaking scenery,

unique culture and history dating back to the 18th century will provide you with plenty to do in your downtime.

Located roughly halfway between Australia and New Zealand you will need to approach this opportunity with

eyes wide open and know you will be immersing yourself in a community and culture that is friendly, resilient

and self-reliant.

A place where waving to everyone you pass is mandatory, where cows have right of way, and everyone knows

everyone else. It is the only place in the world where the telephone book lists people under their nicknames,

such as Drill, Bing, Diddles and Spud. No wonder the locals reckon it is "Da Bass Side Orn Earth" (the best place

on Earth).

If you have the qualifications, skills and resilience to take on this challenge, we look forward to receiving your

applications. NIHRACS is offering a 12-month contract with the option for 1+1 year renewal at NIHRACS

discretion.

NORFOLK ISLAND HEALTH AND RESIDENTIAL AGED CARE SERVICES

A holistic integrated Multi-Purpose Service (MPS) delivering safe, quality and person-centred healthcare to our community.

Norfolk Island Health and Residential Aged Care Services (NIHRACS) as it stands today was established in July

2016. The (NIHRACS) organisation became administrators for the hospital site on Norfolk Island that has

operated since the 1940’s.

The Norfolk Island Health and Residential Aged Care Service (NIHRACS) is a multi-purpose service providing

acute care including emergency services, residential aged care, and primary and community health care

services. Norfolk Island service delivery and funding arrangements From July 2016, Norfolk Island has been

integrated with mainland taxation and social security benefits. Like other Australians, Norfolk Islanders now

have access to the Medicare and the Pharmaceutical Benefit Schemes and Hospital services (on and off-island).

The history of Norfolk Island has seen a number of hospital sites and is a central part of the community and

history on the island. The first civil Hospital at Kingston was built in 1829 and was raised on old foundations

from the First Settlement. Other known Hospital sites included overtime:

• Military Hospital on Quality Row – now the Administration Building

• Number 6 Quality Row – established by Dr L.S. Duke in the 1920’s

• Miss Martha Taylor’s guesthouse in Grassy Road – used as the New Zealand Army Hospital during WWII

• Bishops Court – established by the Melanesian Mission and used until 1949

• Torrie Glen for a short time after Bishops Court 1949.

The Norfolk Island community has shown great support to

the Health Service over many years and generous

donations have provided the Mawson Units,

Physiotherapy Unit, Dental Unit, Emily Channer District

Nursing Service and St John Ambulance.

Norfolk Island is similar in size to a lot of small rural and

remote towns in Australia and has a population of

approximately 1800. Medical facilities are also similar to

those available in such towns. A Multipurpose Service,

including a General Practice Clinic, Outpatients,

Emergency Service, Acute Beds and Residential Aged Care

The Norfolk Island health facility has six inpatient adult beds and two emergency bays. NIHRACS’ facilities

include Pathology and Medical Imaging services, however some tests have to be sent to mainland Australia

for processing. There is no operating theatre. Emergency surgical patients and seriously ill patients are

evacuated to mainland Australia.

Norfolk Island Health and Residential Aged Care Services are holistic, person centred and provide many

community support groups and wellbeing activities. Weekly community newsletters keep the community

informed and activities include events such as Salsa dancing with healthy cooking classes and gardening

activities. Other Health programs include: A Staying Healthy, Living Well Program which has a mentoring

program, plus NI Active Kids Program. The Island also presents a Health and Wellbeing Expo every year.

Health Services Plan & Review

KPMG conducted a review of the Health Services Plan for Norfolk Island initially in 2015 and followed with an

update in 2019. This was commissioned by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport Cities and Regional

Development.

The current 2019 plan put a business case forward for a new multipurpose health facility on the island. The

main priorities for the strategy include effective, safe, people centred, timely, integrated and efficient service.

The key considerations for the review, included a comparison of the health service with similar remote

communities under the Australasian Health Facility Guidelines. Plus, a focus on the following considerations.

• The distance from Norfolk Island to other major referral hospitals on the mainland. A medical

evacuation to Australia can take up to 16 hours before a plane can arrive to transport a patient back

to the mainland.

• The community expectations of Health Services delivered on Norfolk Island.

• The cultural and social implications for community members who have to access services on the

mainland.

• The uniqueness of Norfolk Island as an external Australian Territory which has only recently become

administered by Australia (since 2016) and as such not previously required Health Services on Norfolk

Island to be independently assessed by an external agency. Up until 2015, Norfolk Island operated as

a substantially self-governing Territory under the Norfolk Island Act 1979. The legislation represented

a mix of Commonwealth laws and those passed by elected legislative Assembly.

Please see link to the review: Norfolk Island Health Service Plan, May 2020, KPMG

Norfolk Island Demographics & Lifestyle Population size Census data shows the Norfolk Island population as 1,748. The age distribution of Norfolk

Island’s population is older on average than the combined population of the rest of Australia. Conversely, the

proportion of the Norfolk population in the 20 to 35 years age groups is well below that of the rest of Australia.

Norfolk Island Central School provides kindergarten to Year 12 classes. It is the only school on Norfolk Island.

There were 287 enrolments in 2018 and employs approximately 25 full-time equivalent teaching staff plus

nine ancillary and support staff.

locations.

Norfolk Island lies 800 km SSE of Noumea, 1500 km east of Brisbane, 1600 km North West of Sydney and 1120

km NW of Auckland, New Zealand. The population can grow in times of peak tourism to over 2000. The climate

is sub-tropical. A paradise island that is 3455 hectares in area and 5 x 8 km in size.

Norfolk Island History Artefacts on Norfolk Island have been carbon dated to a period between 800 and 1400 AD. The location of the

islands were a great point to stop over for Polynesian explorers. Remains of houses, outdoor ovens and a

marae were excavated in the dunes behind Emily Bay, the lagoon on the island’s south west corner.

The British discovery of Norfolk Island occurred in 1744 by Capt. James Cook. He described it as paradise. It

was originally used as a penal colony. Norfolk Island is one of Australia’s oldest Territories and included on the

World Heritage List as part of the Australian Convict sites. Following this period, the island was abandoned for

a few years and then resettled by the Pitcairn descendants of the Bounty mutineers. Approximately one third

of the present population has descended from the 194 Pitcairners and their Tahitian wives who arrived on 8

June 1856.

Whaling was a vital source of income for the Islanders from 1856 onward, in many ways underpinning their

economic survival. Several commercial crops flourished at different times, including bananas, passionfruit,

beans and kentia seeds.

Norfolk’s way of life was permanently changed in 1942 when the allied airstrip was constructed to refuel

aircraft during the Pacific campaign of World War II. After the war, the airstrip was converted into a

commercial airport which ushered in the new industry of tourism.

While many Islanders are still engaged in traditional agriculture and fishing jobs, the major source of

employment is tourism. Retail, tours, attractions, charters, entertainment festivals, sporting carnivals,

accommodation properties and eateries are all focused on the visitors who come to Norfolk Island in their

thousands each year.

Norfolk Island is a well-known holiday location and the perfect escape from a demanding world. The delightful

switch to "Norfolk Time” is a popular saying that represents the slower pace in holiday mode and relaxing

nature of the culture. Tourists can experience a cruisy cafe lunch with well-known great food or many outdoor

activities such as snorkelling in Emily Bay lagoon, fishing, playing golf and generally exploring the island its

National Parks and reserves.

Norfolk Islanders speak both English and a creole language known as Norfuk, a blend of eighteenth-century

English and Tahitian. The Norfuk language is decreasing in popularity as more tourists come to the island and

more young people leave for work and study reasons. However, efforts are being made to keep it alive via

dictionaries and the renaming of some tourist attractions to their Norfuk equivalents. In 2004 an act of the

Norfolk Island Assembly made it a co-official language of the island.
