Milparinka Heritage Precinct Health and Education History

Outback Learning and Outback Health

The Milparinka Learning in the Outback Room is located in the first of the lock-up cells adjacent to the rear of the Courthouse. This room provides information about schooling in Milparinka from the 1880s when the first school was built through to the modern day when local children study through School of the Air.

The Milparinka Health in the Outback Room is located in the second of the lock-up cells adjacent to the rear of the Courthouse. This room provides information about healthcare in Milparinka from the 1880s, the construction of the first hospital in Tibooburra and the introduction of the Flying Doctor Service (now Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS)) into the area.

There is also information about the RFDS today as it continues to be a vital provider of primary and emergency health care across the area.
