Our collective appeal to local MPs to regularize the health crisis situation specifically by increasing the number of doctors and nurses providing services on Tamborine Mountain and extending medical practice operating hours to a ‘round the clock’ service or at the very least, a 7am until 10pm service, has been received.

Fifteen letters from Tamborine Mountain seniors (individually and collectively signed), were presented to Mr. David Crisafulli, Mr. Scott Buchholz and Mr. Jon Krause at the Queensland Health Crisis public meeting held at the QCWA Hall, Beaudesert, on Monday, 6 March 2023.
These letters constituted a collective appeal to our local MPs for their immediate intervention to resolve the current ‘health crisis’, specifically the dwindling health services provision with its shortage of doctors and nurses coupled with insufficient operating hours for our isolated community – significantly populated by seniors living independently in their own homes – for many, many years.
For those of us who work with senior residents on a daily basis, including collaborating Volunteers, Carers, Cleaners, Contractors, etc. who are residents of Tamborine Mountain, we too require prompt medical attention (for ourselves and our younger families), to be able to function and perform at our optimum.
It’s crucial to remember that the current medical staff (who are currently under tremendous work pressure) will also receive the support they deserve, with the addition of medical staff and government funding.
Well done to all those who took the time to write their letter. It added to the success of our ‘call for help’ to remedy this situation.
If you live on Tamborine Mountain, wouldn’t you want the same resolution? If you have not already written your letter, we invite you to support our initiative and address your letter to Mr. Jon Krause, 91, Brisbane Street, Beaudesert, QLD 4285 or attention it to him at – scenicrim@parliament.qld.gov.au
Subject of your letter – ‘Appeal to increase health service provision on Tamborine Mountain’. Thank you for your cooperation.
