WE ARE A MAJOR
HOSPITAL IN ONE OF
THE FASTEST GROWING
REGIONS IN AUSTRALIA
AND ARE DEDICATED
TO PROVIDING HIGH
QUALITY HEALTH CARE
TO BOTH PUBLIC AND
PRIVATE PATIENTS.
Located in Perth’s northern
suburbs, JHC is the largest hospital
in the region, has one of the
busiest emergency departments
in Australia and provides several
state-wide services, including
peritonectomy and bariatrics.
In addition, we provide a
comprehensive range of acute
and non-acute services including
emergency, intensive care,
maternity, paediatrics, neonatal
care, cancer, surgical, aged care,
rehabilitation and mental health
services.
While JHC is managed by
Australia’s largest private
healthcare operator, Ramsay
Health Care, we have a longstanding
public contract under
which we treat public patients on
behalf of the State Government.
With the rapidly growing
population in our catchment area
tipped to increase 100 per cent
in the next 20 years, we have our
work cut out for us.
To continue to meet community
needs, a major redevelopment of
the hospital is being planned.
At the time of publication, the
Government had committed $167
million to fund:
90 new public hospital beds
30 new mental health beds
Eight new operating theatres
An expansion of the
emergency department
An urgent care clinic
A medihotel
A six-bed stroke unit
Additional car parking
Over the coming years JHC will
develop its capacity to care for
more complex patients closer
to home, in line with the WA
Department of Health’s Clinical
Services Framework (CSF).
The CSF suggests that ultimately
JHC will be upgraded to include
more tertiary services to respond
to the significant population
growth in the northern suburbs.
