North Metro & Mitchell Local Health Service Network

From July 1, 2025, Victoria’s Local Health Service Networks (Networks) will be officially established.

The Networks group health services within a geographical region and are responsible for supporting collaborative care for their community, as close to home as possible.

Austin Health is a part of the North Metro and Mitchell Local Health Service Network. Our Network is made up of the following health services:

  • Austin Health
  • Mercy Health (Mercy Hospital for Women)
  • Northern Health
  • Seymour Health

By working across the Network, our health services will be able to escalate your care to a larger or more specialist hospital if required and bring you closer home for your ongoing care and recovery.

You will still be able to access all the health services you value most – but know that the Networks are working together to deliver better care for you.

Visit the Department of Health website for more information about the Local Health Service Networks.
