Joondalup Health Campus

What Joondalup Health Campus does

Joondalup Health Campus is a 722-bed public-private hospital located in Joondalup, Perth's northern suburbs, operated by Ramsay Health Care (ASX: RHC) under a public-private partnership with the Western Australian and Australian Governments. Founded in 1996, the campus co-locates a major public hospital with a standalone 146-bed Joondalup Private Hospital, providing a full continuum of acute care including emergency, maternity (3,500-4,000 births/year), surgery, oncology, cardiology, mental health, rehabilitation, paediatrics, and allied health services. It treats over 73,000 inpatients annually and handles approximately 101,000 emergency department presentations per year, making it one of the largest and busiest hospitals in Western Australia.

The campus operates modern facilities including a 102-bed Mental Health Unit, a 37-bed Telethon Children's Ward, interventional catheterisation laboratories with 3D real-time imaging, an expanded Emergency Department with a Behavioural Assessment Urgent Care Clinic, and an oncology and haematology day unit. A $307.9 million Development Stage 2 expansion completed in May 2026 added 166 new public beds, an expanded theatre complex, and additional cath labs. The hospital maintains an active Research and Clinical Trials Department supporting ethical review, governance, and biostatistics, and is accredited as a teaching hospital for advanced medical training across multiple specialties, with junior doctor rotations across metropolitan and rural sites via partnerships with Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Hollywood Private Hospital, and WA Country Health Service.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: government funding for public services under Medicare via State and Commonwealth co-funding, private patient fees through health insurers, specialist and outpatient clinic fees (including allied health and GP-referred clinics), and educational program revenue. Patient acquisition flows through emergency walk-ins, GP referrals to outpatient clinics, specialist referrals, and state health system coordination, supported by an active GP liaison program, CPD events, and specialist referral pathways. Pricing varies by patient category, with Medicare bulk billing for public patients and concession categories, and private fee-for-service for insured and self-pay patients across physiotherapy, dietetics, speech therapy, gynaecology, and other outpatient services.
