With approximately 120 beds, the hospital provides comprehensive services including emergency care, surgery, medicine, obstetrics, pediatrics, mental health, dialysis, and outpatient services.

The hospital serves a multicultural community associated with the region’s significant gold mining industry, alongside established residents and a substantial Aboriginal population. Kalgoorlie Health Campus has developed specific expertise in industrial medicine, remote emergency care, and culturally appropriate services for Aboriginal patients from both urban and remote communities.
