Katherine Library Refresh
The Katherine Library has recently been given a fresh new look.
Library staff from Darwin visited Katherine Hospital to give the space some TLC and we think you will enjoy using the library resources, space, Wi-Fi even more than ever!
Request a Teams meeting with one of our Darwin librarians, we can assist you with finding clinical evidence, the latest research, or articles to support your postgraduate study.

We would like to thank the wonderful KDH staff for their amazing assistance in helping us achieve this - Doug Leckie and his team from Engineering Services, the KDH Business Unit, and the Housekeeping staff.
