Our Health Service

As the largest regional service between Sydney and Melbourne, it directly serves a local community of 100,000 and supports a catchment population of 300,000 covering North East Victoria and Southern New South Wales.
Our Emergency Departments have over 60,000 presentations per year with a greater than 20% admission rate and paediatric presentations of 25%. AWH is a Regional Trauma Referral Centre dealing with the full spectrum of Emergency Care with trauma and resuscitation.
Our team continues to develop as we move to the opening of our new emergency department with 58 points of care in 2024.
