RDHS employs 154 staff and has an
operating budget of approximately
14 million dollars. We are fortunate to
have a high performing management
team that takes pride in achieving
exceptional business outcomes. RDHS
maintains a clear focus on service
development and delivery priorities
and leverages off strong financial
performance to make best use of the
resources available to the community.
RDHS has achieved “Whole of
Business” certification to the
internationally recognised standards
of AS/NZS/ISO 9001:2008,
AS4801:2001 and the environmental
standard AS/NZS/ISO 14001:2004.
RDHS was the first health service in
Australia to achieve this standard.
RDHS was honoured at the 2010
Victorian Health Care Awards to
be presented with the “2010 Rural
Health Service of the Year” by the
Premier of Victoria, Mr John Brumby.
RDHS achieved the same award in
2007 and was the first Victorian rural
health service to have received this
award twice.
In July 2009 the Manangatang & District Hospital and RDHS merged to ensure the sustainability and
development of health care services for the Manangatang community. During 2010 RDHS was also
successful in having the Manangatang location incorporated into an MPS funding agreement.
