About Southern Health

Southern Health is Victoria's largest
metropolitan health service located across south eastern Melbourne, uniquely
integrating in one organisation all primary, secondary and tertiary health
services, as well as world-renowned research and teaching facilities.
We serve a core population of over 866 000
people or 21 per cent of the city's population, who depend on us for all
aspects of their public health care needs, with our services drawn upon
by a greater population
of 1.235 million or 32 per cent of Melbourne. Southern Health also has
a wider official specialist role for greater Melbourne, regional
Victoria and interstate in such specialities as paediatrics, cardiology,
transplants and neonatal intensive care with extensive university
affiliations. In the last financial year our hospitals treated more than 178,000 inpatients, triaged more than 150 000 emergency presentations, performed nearly 40 000 operations, and delivered over 8200 new Victorians. |
