Mobile Clinic (Lung Bus) bookings for employers
The icare Lung Bus is a mobile clinic that visits locations across New South Wales. Book individual worker appointments or arrange a full or multi-day visit to your worksite.
Our Mobile Clinic (Lung Bus) is our most popular service and appointments fill up quickly. It offers a local or on-site service that minimises disruption to the working day for people and businesses in regional New South Wales.
Book a Mobile Clinic visit to your worksite if you have 30 or more workers receiving screening and a safe and secure location for the Clinic.
You can also book individual appointments on the Mobile Clinic when it is setup at publicly accessible locations.
