About us

Since our establishment in 2016, NMHS has embraced best practice to deliver improved clinical outcomes in the face of rising challenges for all healthcare providers.

With a budget of $2.16 billion and 8,917 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff, we serve a population of 736,907 people (about 28% of Western Australia’s total population) within a catchment area of almost 1,000 square kilometres. The population we serve is projected to increase by 17% between 2021 and 2031, and the number aged 65 years and older will increase by 41% over the same period.

NMHS provides a comprehensive range of adult specialist medical, surgical, mental health and obstetric services in WA, delivered across 3 tertiary hospitals and 2 secondary hospitals, all fully accredited.

NMHS oversees the provision of contracted public health care from Joondalup Health Campus operated under a public–private partnership. A range of statewide, highly specialised multidisciplinary services is offered from several NMHS hospital and clinic sites.

The NMHS is a statutory authority governed by the NMHS Board. View NMHS at a glance (PDF).
