We are a major health service provider in
Northeast Victoria, situated centrally within the
Hume region. For more than 150 years, we
have delivered an extensive range of healthcare
services at the Wangaratta campus, a residential
aged care facility in Illoura, and through many
outreach services into the home and through
telehealth.
As one of Victoria’s larger sub-regional health
services, we provide high volumes of very
diverse acute care across most sub specialties
to residents across Northeast Victoria, and a
range of services to cross-border patients. In
2023-24 NHW delivered 88% of unplanned
admitted care for its primary catchments resulting
in a self-sufficiency rate of 88%. Additionally,
NHW delivers close to 50% of the secondary
catchment’s unplanned admitted care.
Acute inpatient and community services are
located in Green Street, Wangaratta. Our Hospital
in the Home (HITH), non-admitted patient
services and community-based care programs
reach across the central Hume area and are
essential to achieving our goal of keeping care
as close to home as possible. Clinical services
provided on the Green Street campus include
accident and emergency, critical and intensive
care, general surgery, orthopaedics, urology,
obstetrics, gynaecology, paediatrics, general
medicine, oncology, renal dialysis, rehabilitation,
dental, medical imaging, community nursing,
allied health and outpatient services. Our staff
also provide a range of preventative health
programs.
