Our main site, Wonthaggi Hospital, has undergone a transformation and expansion of specialty services in medical and surgical disciplines. A $115 million grant from government will fund the first part of our hospital’s expansion including a contemporary 18 bed emergency department and 8 bed short-stay that has recently opened (see - https://www.vhhsba.vic.gov.au/health/regional-facilities/wonthaggi-hospital-expansion).
In order to support our rapidly growing population, we’re forecast to grow our services, and our clinical and non-clinical workforce, by up to 45% to 2023. This means we’re always on the lookout for good people who embody our WE CARE values, who might make good additions to our excellent team.
