Living with a Disability

Living with a Disability

WNHS is committed to ensuring that people with disabilities, their families and carers have the same opportunities as other people to access the hospital’s facilities, receive the same level of care and information.

Women living with a disability or chronic health condition who need extra support may be referred to our support services provided by our Allied Health Professionals.

Our Allied Health services can help to adapt your home environment, provide advice about assistive equipment and modify your everyday activities and lifestyle during pregnancy and the early months following birth, after surgery or whilst managing a chronic health condition.  Our teams can also link you into other community supports available to you and your family.

More information about WNHS Allied Health Services.

Our teams are always willing to talk about issues that may be worrying you and affecting your health care experience.

North Metropolitan Health Service (NMHS) has developed this Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (PDF) (DAIP) in accordance with the Disability Services Act 1993 (external site) (as amended 2004). This DAIP sets a clear direction and focus for NMHS from 2017 to 2022.

 

Have your say about disability access and inclusion at North Metropolitan Health Service

NMHS is currently reviewing its Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) and would like your input on how NMHS can improve access and reduce barriers to our services. Your feedback will help develop the NMHS Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2022-2027.

The anonymous survey (external site) takes 5-10 minutes to complete and closes midnight Friday 15 July 2022.

The survey can be provided in different formats. If you need a different format or you have any questions or concerns about disability access and inclusion at NMHS, contact Lanny Hoskin, Safety and Quality Coordinator, on 6457 1736 or NMHS.SQGCE@health.wa.gov.au.
