The blood-red coloured vehicle was welcomed into Jubilee Park’s Big 4 Hopkins River Holiday Park on Thursday for the first time, where it will service holiday-makers until later this month.
The specially-equipped bus contains three mobile dialysis units and allows people regularly needing dialysis to take a holiday.
While it’s machines are working up to five hours at a time, three days a week, the buses’ patients are enjoying a much-needed holiday in what might otherwise have been an impossible getaway.
Passing its final water health checks on Thursday afternoon, the holiday park will be home to the over-sized vehicle until December 20.
Nurses from Monash Health will dialyse the patients on board from Wednesday, November 29.
