Stawell Regional Health offers a diverse range of integrated and related health services in our modern hospital, carried out by a cooperative team of medical professionals and visiting specialists.
We have a 29-bed ward and six day surgery beds in our Simpson Wing, a birthing suite, operating theatres and accident and emergency department. This is supported by a medical imaging department, pharmacy department and St John of God Pathology.
We have a helipad to enable Air Ambulance Victoria to quickly transport patients with life-threatening injury or illness to specialist facilities, generally in Melbourne or Bendigo. If deemed necessary, the helicopter may transport patients directly from an accident scene to the tertiary hospital.

Stawell Regional Health has an Allied Health Department consisting of representatives from specialist services including Diabetes Education, Dietetics, Health Promotion, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Podiatry, Social Work, and Speech Pathology.
The team aims to seamlessly provide multiple specialist health services to patients according to their individual needs. This may also include specialist nursing services such as a Community Health Nurse, Continence, Stomal Therapy and Wound Care, or an appointment with a visiting specialist for prosthetics/orthotics and audiology.
The Allied Health Department also creates specialist programs for the broader community, such as Cardio-Pulmonary Rehabilitation, the Gait and Balance Program and Diabetes Self Management.
The team also forms a united front to ensure that all aspects of clinical and corporate governance across the organisation are addressed, and that services are regularly reviewed to achieve continuous quality improvement.
