Nurse to Patient Ratios

Tallangatta Health Service provides care in a “Mixed Ward” consisting of Acute and Lakeview Nursing Home (Residential Aged Care) as a small rural health service model of care. That is, we provide care for patients with sub-acute conditions and residential aged care for people requiring respite and permanent accommodation.

Bolga Court provides a range of residential aged care services such as short-term respite accommodation or permanent residential Aged care.

To ensure compliance with the Safe Patient Care Amendment Act 2019, we roster nurses according to the following ratios:

Acute & Lakeview Nursing Home

Morning Shift (0700hrs - 1530hrs) 1 Nurse: 6 Patients

Afternoon Shift (1430hrs - 2300hrs) 1 Nurse: 6 Patients

Night Shift (2245hrs - 0715hrs) 1 Nurse: 10 Patients

Bolga Court
