About Epworth HealthCare
Epworth HealthCare provides acute medical and surgical services, sub-acute care, diagnostics and rehabilitation to in excess of 90,000 patients admitted annually. The group has four divisions: Epworth Richmond, Epworth Eastern, Epworth Freemasons and Epworth Rehabilitation. With over 1200 beds and more than 4000 staff, Epworth HealthCare is Victoria’s largest not-for-profit private hospital group.

Epworth leads the field in many areas with Centres of Excellence in specialties including maternity, spinal surgery, oncology, cardiology, robotic surgery, acquired brain injury, rehabilitation and orthopaedics. Epworth recognises research and teaching as integral to achieving this goal and supports many projects across all areas of health. As a not-for-profit, surplus funds achieved by Epworth are re-invested into equipment, facilities and patient care. The result has been the creation of one of the most advanced medical and surgical services in Australia.

Epworth HealthCare aims to be, and to be recognised as, a pre-eminent provider of acute surgical, medical, obstetrics and rehabilitation services within Australia’s private sector. At Epworth, doctors and staff work in partnership to provide quality treatment and care for patients, their families and the community.
