About our organisation
The West Gippsland Healthcare Group is a growing regional health service, providing acute medical and surgical, obstetric, emergency, residential care and community health services to one of the fastest growing Local Government Areas in the country – Baw Baw Shire. The Hospital cares for approximately 11,600 inpatients, makes nearly 28,000 community visits and sees more than 20,000 emergency presentations each year.
The administrative headquarters is located at West Gippsland Hospital in Warragul. Warragul is a 30 minute drive from Pakenham along the freeway – against the traffic! And with FREE PARKING! We also offer Salary packaging to help lessen the amount of tax you pay on your income. We are the largest employer in Warragul and are committed to building on our organisation’s strengths by welcoming people with our shared values of Respect, Accountability, Leadership, Collaboration and Improvement. Staff and community engagement are pivotal in ensuring we provide high quality healthcare at all times.
We are well aware our hospital is aging but are excited at the news that our new state of the art hospital and public aged care facility is coming. A 23.6 hectare site at Lardners Track in Drouin East was acquired by West Gippsland Healthcare Group for a future hospital back in 2007. The new hospital is set to feature 233 beds and 33 emergency department treatment spaces as well as aged care and an expanded maternity facility. We pride ourselves on the quality of care that’s delivered by our incredible staff. You won’t find a more friendly and welcoming team than the West Gippsland Healthcare Group. We care for our community because we are the community! The boost in capacity means more patients can be treated faster.
As a teaching hospital, we are closely affiliated with Federation and Monash Universities to provide placements and clinical experience for students. We also have some very generous members of our community who have donated money to help support further studies for some of our disciplines - scholarships may be available if you’re interested in furthering your career.
