Dr Jill Benson is coming to Nhulunbuy in March 2026!

We know that geographical isolation can be one barrier that prevents rural and remote doctors from accessing independent medical care. So we are addressing this by providing an Outreach GP visit to Nhulunbuy next month.

This is a way for doctors to access medical care for themselves from an experienced GP who is pleased to be able to offer their services to their colleagues.

This is a grant-funded, private medical consultation. It is an opportunity to confidentially discuss any concerns you may have in a private setting.

The consultations will be conducted by Dr Jillian Benson in the outpatient’s area of the Gove District Hospitalon Saturday 14 & Sunday 15 March 2026.

For further information email Program Manager, Megan Galpin at megan.galpin@doctorshealthsa.com.au.

This important initiative is proudly funded by the Northern Territory PHN

Doctors or medical students from within the Northern Territory can call DHSA at any time (24/7) on either 08 8366 0250 to connect to a local SA Doctor service for urgent, confidential advice.
