Comments

Health Service Districts (HSDs) are responsible for the management and delivery of health services to their communities as agreed and stipulated in Service Agreements. District Managers are responsible and accountable for all operations within the District which will provide hospital and community-based clinical services including oral health, child and young peoples' health, community health, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, women's health, mental health, home and community care services, sexual health and alcohol and drug services. HSDs also provide corporate services required for the administration of the District functions, including finance, human resource management, general administration, medical record administration, information management, technology support and operational services. In some cases a collaborative approach is required among HSDs in order to provide maximum relevance, effectiveness and efficiency in delivering services to the community. These issues are articulated in Service Agreements. District Health Councils consist of 8-10 members of the local and surrounding community and are appointed by the Executive Council of Government to provide genuine community input and strategic direction into the way health services are delivered in each HSD. Zonal Managers (Southern, Central and Northern) are responsible for the planning and purchasing of health services from the HSDs. A list of the HSDs according to each of the Zones is available from the Client Services Unit, Health Information Centre, Corporate Office.
