Northern Health is a major public health system serving Melbourne's northern region. Founded in 2000, it operates from four campuses—Northern Hospital in Epping, Broadmeadows Hospital, the Bundoora Centre, and the Craigieburn Centre—to provide care close to where people live. The organization delivers a broad mix of medical, surgical, emergency, intensive and coronary care, pediatrics, women's and maternal health, mental health, aged care, palliative care, and rehabilitation services, offered through inpatient, ambulatory and community-based programs. To improve integration and access, its services are organized into acute and sub-acute streams that coordinate care across campuses. Based in Melbourne, Victoria, Northern Health serves the public health care needs of a growing suburban population and employs thousands of staff across its campuses. A recent development includes the March 2026 launch of the Virtual Liaison Nurse in the Emergency Department, part of ongoing efforts to improve timely access to safe care.
