Mobile Clinic (Lung Bus) bookings for workers
The icare Lung Bus is a mobile clinic that visits locations across New South Wales. Workers can book free appointments directly with icare if they are no longer employed in a dusty workplace.
The Mobile Clinic (Lung Bus) is our most popular service and appointments fill up quickly. It is a public site service for people in regional New South Wales.
On board the Mobile Clinic is an x-ray room, advanced lung function testing equipment and specialists in lung and respiratory health.
Our medical tests are quick and painless and can help with the early identification of a dust disease.
“A great, seamless, experience. The staff were extremely helpful through the whole process and communication was good.”

At your worksite
If your employer needs lung screening for 30 or more workers, we may be able to arrange a Mobile Clinic worksite visit. For worksite visits, we drive to the site and setup the bus for one or more days. Ask your employer to contact us to discuss making a worksite booking.
