Inner North Country Health Services 21 Hutchinson Road, Gawler East, South Australia 5118

Welcome to Inner North Country Health Services, located at 21 Hutchinson Road in Gawler East, Australia. We are a renowned establishment in the healthcare sector and a point of interest for the local community. As part of the South Australian Local Health Networks (LHNs), we are dedicated to delivering exceptional public hospital services and community-based health services, as mandated by the state government.

In South Australia, there are 10 LHNs established as incorporated hospitals under the Health Care Act 2008, and Inner North Country Health Services is proud to be one of them. Each LHN operates under a Governing Board, which ensures the overall governance and oversight of local service delivery. These boards are responsible for managing performance and budget achievement, clinical governance, safety and quality, risk management, and fulfilling their designated functions and responsibilities. The Governing Boards appoint the LHN Chief Executive Officer, who reports directly to the board.

While the Governing Boards handle governance and oversight, the day-to-day management and operations of Inner North Country Health Services are entrusted to our capable LHN CEO. We strive to comply with all directions issued by the Minister or Chief Executive and adhere to the policies specified by the Department for the effective performance of our functions.

At Inner North Country Health Services, we believe in transparency and strive to provide accessible information to our community. As part of this commitment, we are proud participants of the MyHospitals national initiative. Through this platform, visitors can access consumer-friendly information on hospital performance, patient admissions, waiting times for elective surgery and emergency department care, and measures of safety and quality. We regularly update the information on our website to ensure the most accurate and up-to-date content.

We also recognize the important role of carers in our community. Carers are individuals who provide essential support to their family members or friends, whether it's emotional assistance, meal preparation, medication administration, personal care, or financial assistance. We appreciate the invaluable contribution of carers and strive to support them in their role.

Inner North Country Health Services is committed to closing the health disparity gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities. We actively contribute to SA Health's Aboriginal Health Care Framework 2023-2031, which aims to measure progress in achieving health equity.

We are also dedicated to promoting public health and well-being. Our website provides valuable information on how to protect yourself from mosquito-borne diseases through our Fight the Bite campaign. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of flu vaccination, especially for young children who are more vulnerable to serious complications. Vaccination is provided free of charge for children aged 6 months to under 5 years.
