Holidays and long trips away from home can be complicated for those requiring regular dialysis. The Big Red Kidney Bus has set up shop in Kiama to reduce the barriers and allow holidayers to receive mobile dialysis.

Kidney Australia launched the year-round program to give those receiving dialysis the opportunity to go on holidays throughout NSW and ensure they still have access to their life-saving treatment. 

“Our Big Red Kidney Bus mobile dialysis program is much loved by our kidney community as it gives them the freedom to move beyond their treating clinic and visit other parts of Australia – a freedom so many of us take for granted” says Kidney Health Australia CEO, Chris Forbes.

All dialysis sessions on the Bus are free of charge, and there is no limitation to the number of sessions someone can receive. 

The bus features three chairs with dialysis machines and is staffed by renal technicians and dialysis nurses.

The bus will be parked at Big4 East Beach Holiday Park, 30 Ocean Street Kiama from 8 July until 3 August.
