Kan­ga­roo Island Health Ser­vice is a Mul­ti-Pur­pose Site and is the most remote part of BHFL­HN, clas­si­fied as Mod­i­fied Monash Mod­el rat­ing 7, which is the high­est clas­si­fi­ca­tion in Aus­tralia for a remote com­mu­ni­ty. The dis­ad­van­tage is large­ly due to the ​‘water gap’ sep­a­ra­tion from the main­land which caus­es eco­nom­ic and social impacts to the community.

It is 13 kilo­me­tres off the coast of South Aus­tralia and 30 min­utes by plane from Ade­laide. Kan­ga­roo Island cov­ers an area of approx­i­mate­ly 4400 square kilo­me­tres, with 509 km of coast­line and 155 km from the East coast to the West coast and is home to a res­i­dent pop­u­la­tion of around 4500 and greater than 190,000 state, inter­state and inter­na­tion­al tourists each year.
