Northern Health
Established in July 2000, Northern Health provides quality health care services to the expanding communities in Melbourne's northern suburbs. In one of Melbourne's busiest growth corridors, Northern Health offers the community health care services where they are needed - close to where people live.
Northern Health is made up of four campuses: Broadmeadows Health Services, The Northern Hospital, Bundoora Extended Care Centre, and Craigieburn Health Service.
These campuses provide a unique mix of services including medical, surgical, emergency, intensive and coronary care, paediatrics, women's and maternal health, mental health, aged care, palliative care, and rehabilitation programs. These are provided through inpatient, ambulatory and community-based programs. Melbourne's north is culturally diverse, so stakeholder involvement is crucial to learning more about specific cultural sensitivities, and how we can accommodate these through our everyday practices.
