Kyneton District Health Service [KDHS], in conjunction with the North West Dialysis Service (Melbourne Health), opened a haemodialysis unit at Kyneton in September 2003.

The North West Dialysis Service [NWDS] was formed in 1993 as part of the Melbourne health services review and is the largest provider of dialysis services in Australia. It provides care for patients in the northern and western corridors of metropolitan Melbourne, regional Victoria and Southern NSW. The NWDS has a primary objective in bringing services closer to the patient. Kyneton Hospital has facilitated this by enabling the creation of the Kyneton Dialysis Unit, which will benefit people in the Central Highland Area.

The NWDS is responsible for the delivery of acute and chronic interventions to patients requiring renal replacement therapies. In addition the service manages patients in the pre-dialysis phase thus ensuring appropriate and timely pre-dialysis education and creation of vascular and peritoneal accesses.

Contact: For all enquires regarding the Kyneton Dialysis Unit please contact the Acute Services Nurse Business Manager on 5422 9900.
