Our history

The North West Regional Hospital was built in 1994 and was originally owned privately by Burnie Hospital Limited and leased to the Tasmanian Government.

The Tasmanian Government entered an agreement to buy the North West Regional Hospital in 2010, to invest in and expand the facility.

The hospital now offers services in medical, surgical and allied health specialities through inpatient and outpatient departments, as well as catering for the emergency resuscitation, surgery and intensive care of most trauma patients and other medical conditions.
