Health & Community Services

relay for life

Warialda is serviced by a modern medical centre and 25 bed hospital which is in line to be upgraded to multipurpose health services. There is also 14 bed,self care units for aged care managed by Council. There are also services to assist the aged and the disabled to remain independent in their homes, including Home and Community Care Services, Community Transport and Community Health Services.

However, lack of health care services was nominated by the rural communities as a major issue. These communities visit specialists in larger centres or rely on visiting services from Inverell or Moree.

The emergency services include Police, Ambulance, Fire, Rural Bush Fire Service and State Emergency Service.
Warialda provides Centrelink Agencies that enable the community to access this service without the need to travel to a major centre. Warialda also has a library and a Tourist Information Centre.

A swimming pool and good sporting facilities such as the Warialda Indoor Sports Complex and the Warialda Tennis Courts anc Clubhouse are available to everyone wishing to partake in sporting activities. Swimming and football are strongly supported, but many other sports are struggling to have stand-alone competitions through lack of volunteers to manage the sports.

Sport has economic as well as social benefits for an area. When competitions or sporting days are presented in rural towns, a large influx of people attends the events and spends money in the area. Local sports create socialising activities for adults as well as helping youth to establish friendships that carry through into high school and create a sense of community.

Warialda is well situated on a recognised travel and transort route from north to south and east to west. There are regular coach services connecting with rail and air services from Tamworth. Another coach service runs from Moree through to Inverell and onto the Gold Coast.

Warialda has a friendly, enthusiastic community spirit. The community has a willingnesss to gather around those in need and they have raised large sums of money and volunteered large numbers of hours for charity and community projects.
