Our Communities<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Western Health is the major healthcare provider to one of the fastest-growing and most diverse regions of Australia. The catchment population is nearing 900,000, and the birth rate and movement into this region means that strong growth will continue in the years ahead.<\/p>\n

Our communities are culturally rich, with members speaking more than 150 different languages and dialects.<\/p>\n

Our population has higher-than-average rates of cancer, heart disease, stroke and mental illness, and diabetes and depression are also significant population health issues. And our community is ageing, with frailty becoming a significant challenge to independent, healthy living.<\/p>\n

We are committed to providing Best Care to communities across Melbourne\u2019s west, improving health outcomes for all.<\/p>\n
