The Women and Newborn Health Service provides clinical care to women and families. It comprises King Edward Memorial Hospital, the Maternity Unit at Osborne Park Hospital and other specialist health services. The Women and Newborn Services at Osborne Park Hospital merged with WNHS in 2020. The new service became part of the overall Women and Newborn Health Service. The merging of the two services created a synergy for women’s healthcare options, encouraging greater opportunity for cross-site communication and collaboration. The new service is an additional pregnancy care option for women, all governed by WNHS.

Established in 1916, KEMH is the State’s largest maternity hospital and the only referral centre for complex, high acuity pregnancies in WA.

WNHS employs over 1,200 FTE who provide care for more than 45,000 gynaecological occasions of service with conditions including general gynaecology, gynae-oncology, endometriosis, IVF and urogynaecology.
