Kimberley Region

The Kimberley Health Region is organised so that Integrated District Health Services support the smaller hospitals in the region to deliver care and when required, transfer patients to the more specialised, larger hospitals in Broome and Kununurra or metropolitan tertiary hospitals. This level of integration enables the appropriate and safe care of patients in suitably equipped and appropriately resourced facilities, according to the acuity of the patient.  This allows the patient to receive care closer to home, where possible, and reduce the need to travel to Perth for treatment.

There are two major hospital facilities in the Kimberley region, located in Broome and Kununurra. These support smaller regional hospitals in Derby, Fitzroy Crossing, Halls Creek and Wyndham.
