The rehabilitation services expanded in 2018 & moved to recent facilities at the Palmerston Hospital in September 2018. This is a new 116 bed hospital 20 minutes from RDH but is one campus. The whole rehabilitation service is now in a purpose built facility along with the Geriatric service, 24 Hour ED, Pathology & Radiology. The unit has a 24 bed general rehabilitation ward dealing with a wide case mix of adult rehabilitation. This ranges from stroke/neurological, amputee, brain injury, spinal cord injury, orthopaedic & multiple trauma. There is extensive exposure to the Indigenous culture & opportunities to attend Outreach clinics. A private hospital with a rehabilitation ward is also collocated at RDH.



Outpatient clinics cover prosthetics/orthotics, chronic pain, stroke & brain injury. Exposure to intrathecal pumps & botulinum toxin injections is available. There is also onsite hydrotherapy facilities & extensive allied health service. The positions are supported by RMOs. Two positions are based at PRH & are responsible for the inpatients & outpatient services. They are supervised by two consultants. The third position is responsible for assessing & reviewing the consults at RDH. They work with a consultant & rehabilitation CNC. Trainees are able to rotate through the 3 positions.

The Royal Darwin Hospital is a 360 bed tertiary hospital & is well supported by a large range of specialties & junior medical officer teaching. The Menzies-School of Health Research, The National Critical Care & Trauma Response Centre and Charles Darwin Medical School is based there. The majority of rehabilitation referrals come from RDH.
