WCDHB

The West Coast District Health Board (DHB) is one of twenty DHBs charged by the Crown with improving, promoting and protecting the health and independence of their resident populations... These facilities are the building blocks. The people who work in them depend very much on the work going on in community settings. We have strengthened our home-based support services teams; our allied health and district nursing professionals are travelling to deliver health care closer to home; plus, we're increasing our use of telehealth so it's not costing our patients as much in time and money to travel to appointments... We are a major employer, with over 1,000 people employed across our hospital and primary care services. We also hold and monitor more than 40 service contracts with other organisations and individuals, who provide health and disability services to our population. This includes the West Coast PHO.
