We are a number of organisations which have come together to create the new Women's:

|
The new Royal Women's Hospital development is being delivered as a Public Private Partnership, in accordance with the State Government's Partnerships Victoria policy guidelines.
The Royal Women's Health Partnership will design, build and maintain the hospital building for 25 years. This means the hospital will be maintained in 'as new' condition with no further investment (other than general funding for staffing and beds) required by the State Government.
The Department of Human Services, through The Royal Women's Hospital, will continue to operate all health services.
Each organisation has a specific role to play throughout the life of the Project:
|
The Royal Women's Hospital
|
The Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne is Australia's largest specialist hospital dedicated to improving the health of all women and newborn babies. The Women's is committed to a holistic philosophy of health and provides comprehensive health services, ranging from health promotion to clinical services.
We provide clinical expertise and leadership in maternity services, gynaecology, cancer services and specialist care of newborn babies.
Staff and clinical leaders at the Women's are playing a vital role in this redevelopment project.
Advisory and consultation processes are in place to ensure that the hospital's leadership and management team advises and consults staff so that the design and function of the new facility meets patients', staff and visitors' requirements.
|
We also talk directly to women and have an ongoing dialogue through our Community Advisory Committee on Women's Health (CACWH). For more information, please click here.
