Dave Corstorphan is the only nurse left in the remote West Australian Aboriginal community of Kalumburu after another crime incident led another nurse to leave town.
On Sunday night, an unknown number of offenders targeted the home of a male nurse, smashing a glass door to get in.
"They waited until the particular nurse was called out on a job, and then they hit the place," Mr Corstorphan said.
Police have confirmed that frozen pizzas and a small amount of cash were stolen from the premises on McGowan Place.
The victim has since decided to leave Kalumburu, almost 900km north-east of Broome, leaving Mr Corstorphan as the only nurse in the community of more than 400 people.
The ABC understands a replacement nurse will be starting at the local clinic sometime next week.
The latest incident ongoing concerns about the safety of health staff in remote communities in recent months.
In the same community, there was an incident earlier in the month, in which an ambulance vehicle was damaged after being pelted by rocks, which led to the departure of another nurse.
Meanwhile, further south in Bidyadanga, there were reports of several burglaries on teaching and nursing staff accommodation areas during the school holidays.
Mr Corstorphan maintains the WA Country Health Service was quick to rectify the damages in Kalumburu.
Mr Corstorphan said unless things changed in the community, the service providers would need to make a hard decision regarding their own safety.
"Eventually, I suppose we just have to pull back from the community and we don't want to do that, as nurses, we do not want to do that," he said.
The healthcare worker said once his two-year contract ended in June, he was worried there would be no-one to replace him in the remote community.
"There's such a severe shortage, that despite all of the efforts of WACHS, they still cannot ... attract nurses," he said.
He said nurses had opportunities elsewhere and were actively avoiding towns in the Kimberley.
Mr Corstorphan is part of the Australian Nursing & Midwifery Federation.
"From a union perspective, it's sad because we're trying to maintain a level of nurses ... but we can't attract nurses to the area," he said.
Regional Director of the WA Country Health Service Robert Pulsford said he expected healthcare staff to be treated with respect at work and at their accommodation.
"I want to be clear that any kind of aggressive behaviour toward our staff will not be tolerated," he said.
Meanwhile, Mr Corstorphan hoped the new shift in federal government would mean change in the community.
"With the Teals [independent candidates] now in a possible balance of power, we might see more attention being paid to these problems out here," Mr Corstorphan said.
Police are investigating the latest incident and have appealed to anyone with any information to contact Crime Stoppers.
The Kalumburu Aboriginal Corporation has been contacted for comment.
