Comments

Western Health is a rapidly growing health service with the development of the new Footscray Hospital (scheduled completion 2025) and expanding hospital network that will include Melton, Bacchus Marsh and beyond. We have helped to establish the first public rheumatology clinic in Ballarat Hospital, with the creation of a new unaccredited/non-core registrar position.

Our rheumatology unit has been recognized internationally as an APLAR Centre of Excellence.
