Welcome

On behalf of all the staff at Joondalup Health Campus (JHC), I am pleased to welcome you to our website.

At JHC we provide specialist services for the entire family from birth through to old age and the campus is comprised of a standalone 150-bed Joondalup Private Hospital and a co-located hospital that provides public patient services. JHC is managed by Australia’s largest private hospital operator, Ramsay Health Care, under a long-standing public-private partnership agreement with the State Government.

Caring for both public and private patients and with a total of 750 beds and bays, JHC is one of the largest hospitals in Western Australia, treating more than 68,000 inpatients annually.

At JHC we are committed to continuing to grow with our community to provide excellent health care as the major hospital for Perth’s northern corridor, which is one of the fastest growing regions of Australia.

We are excited have passed the mid-way point in the JHC Development Stage 2 project which is due for completion next year.

The $269.4 million project co-funded by the State and Australian Governments has already delivered:

• a new 102 bed Mental Health Unit
• 12 new Emergency Department (ED) beds (comprising 10 bays and two isolation rooms)
• one specialised Behavioural Assessment Urgent Care Clinic (BAUCC) located within the expanded ED
• refurbishments to the Emergency Assessment Unit (EAU) located within the expanded ED
• increased parking bays for staff and public
• upgraded staff facilities

Other projects underway as part of the public expansion include:

• a new 112-bed public ward block
• one new theatre
• one new Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory (Cath Lab) and relocation of the existing Cath Lab
• refurbished Discharge Lounge
• upgrades to associated services

Excitingly, work has also begun on a $190 million transformation of our private hospital, fully funded by Ramsay Health Care, which includes the establishment of a new state-of-the-art operating theatre complex and a 55 per cent increase in bed capacity giving the community a broader range of elective and emergency private services. The private hospital expansion is due for completion in 2026.

While the expansion works are underway, we remain dedicated to providing high quality health care.

Our clinical performance continues to excel with the strong focus we place on patient-centred, team-based care and having clinicians who are truly engaged and committed to continuous improvement.

Some of the current features of the campus include:

• A comprehensive ED, with a dedicated paediatric area, caring for more than 96,000 people who present at the ED each year.
• A 10-bed Mental Health Observation Area (MHOA), within the ED area, which allows for some extra capacity in the ED and importantly, enables more appropriate care of mental health patients.
• A modern theatre suite with 12 operating theatres, intensive care and high dependency units, a Coronary Catheter Laboratory and dedicated Day Procedure Unit.
• A 12-chaired Renal Unit that enables patients to undergo life-saving dialysis locally.

JHC offers a range of medical and surgical services, including maternity, neonatal and paediatric services and aged care and rehabilitation.

The hospital is also the statewide referral service for bariatric and peritonectomy surgeries.
