Launceston General Hospital is the largest employer in the region with around 2,300 staff.

It provides quality services in a culture of respect and trust and high levels of professionalism with a focus on performance and achieving results. The hospital focuses on teamwork within the hospital and with community providers.

The hospital has a close working partnership with the University of Tasmania and works with many universities to provide clinical practice experience for students within different areas of Medicine, Nursing & Midwifery, Allied Health and Pharmacy.

The Clifford Craig Foundation is the community arm of the hospital. It aims to improve the health of the community through the provision of funding for innovative medical research, education of health professions, funding of medical equipment and patient facilities within the hospital. Its medical research program provides significant benefits for the people of the region.

Most importantly, all donations are spent in Northern Tasmania and used to provide doctors, nurses and other health professionals with unique medical research opportunities they would find difficult to get at other regional hospitals. This gives the Launceston General Hospital a competitive edge to attract and retain skilled medical professionals to live and work in the Northern region of Tasmania.

• Commit to Excellence
• Measure the important things

• Develop leaders to develop people
