Hedland Health Campus

Overview

Hedland Health Campus is a regional healthcare facility serving the townships of Port Hedland and South Hedland and surrounding communities in Western Australia’s Pilbara region. With approximately 70 beds, the hospital provides emergency care, surgery, medicine, obstetrics, pediatrics, mental health, dialysis, and outpatient services. Operating under WA Country Health Service, Hedland Health Campus serves a diverse population of approximately 15,000 people across this remote mining region. The facility employs telehealth capabilities to connect patients with specialists in larger centers and works closely with the Royal Flying Doctor Service for emergency retrievals. Hedland Health Campus has developed specific expertise in industrial medicine, tropical health, and remote healthcare delivery to address the unique needs of this isolated community. The hospital plays a vital role in this regional center located approximately 1,700 kilometers north of Perth, providing essential healthcare services despite the enormous distances to major metropolitan hospitals. The facility serves a multicultural community with a significant Aboriginal population alongside workers associated with the region’s massive iron ore mining and export operations, with services designed to meet the distinct healthcare needs of both populations.
