For Isisford, the 1960s and 1970s were a period of decline. The last full-time resident doctor left in 1959. By 1961 the population had fallen to 293, and continued to fall, especially with the 1965 drought, reaching 169 in 1971. This resulted in a loss of services; for example, in 1979 the Isisford Post Office was downgraded to an unofficial post office.
