About Western Health

Western Health provides care to around one million people in Melbourne’s fast-growing western suburbs – from Maribyrnong to Melton, and Williamstown to Wyndham.

 

Our network includes major hospitals at Footscray and Sunshine, smaller hospitals at Williamstown and Sunbury, and a wide range of community-based services.

 

We’re a proud teaching health service, working closely with the University of Melbourne and the University of Notre Dame. We support junior doctors with dedicated education programs, regular workshops, simulation training, grand rounds, and hands-on learning in many specialties.

 

Our Sunshine Hospital campus is home to the Western Centre for Health Research and Education – a leading teaching and research facility with a high-tech Simulation Centre.
