On 28 August 1965, the Australian Inland Mission opened the Andamooka hospital and began delivering life-saving medical care for local residents of the isolated mining town. Sixteen years later, Mrs. Diane Bilka would take up the mantle and serve as a resident nurse for 40 years.
We would like to congratulate Mrs. Diane Bilka on being recognised with the Order of Australia for her decades of service to nursing, encompassing her more than 30 years with Frontier Services ποΈ
