About YDHS

The Yarram and District Health Service (YDHS) is located 220 kilometres south east of Melbourne on the South Gippsland Highway in rural Victoria.  The township of Yarram, which is the principal service centre of the area, is located in the Shire of Wellington and services an area of approximately 1,840 square kilometres and a catchment population of 5,580. The regional centres of Sale and Traralgon are less than 100 kilometres from us.

The Health Service originally commenced operation as the Yarram and District Hospital.  It was inaugurated on 1st January 1912 and admitted its first patient in January 1917.  In 1993, the hospital name was changed to Yarram and District Health Service to reflect its evolution into a multi-purpose service, more appropriately positioned to meet the needs of the wider community.

YDHS offers acute care services including a 24 hour urgent care facility.  Our aged care residential services include a high care nursing home facility and low care hostel accommodation. We are supported by the Federal Government Department of Health and by Local Government. YDHS operates under the State Government Department of Health and Human Services Small Rural Health Service program and provides a comprehensive range of primary care services.
