Our strategy

We deliver equitable, expert care across every stage of life, with the scale to reach more people, the depth to make a difference, and the heart to do it with unwavering purpose.

Care reimagined

Our Strategy 2026-2031

Where we are now, and the kind of care we deliver, is only made possible with 175 years of experience. However, we know that the expectations of our community are constantly changing and evolving, and that we operate in an environment of ever-increasing demand for public health services.

Continuing with business as usual is not part of the bold vision we are setting for ourselves – a vision that reimagines how care is delivered. That’s why the Monash Health Strategy 2026–2031 addresses the challenges of today and sets a clear direction for the care we aspire to deliver for the future.

Why we exist

Care, reimagined. So that people can live their best lives.

What we do

We provide world-leading care for the community we serve and share our expertise to create local, national and global health impact.

We do this in a way that is safe, equitable, environmentally sustainable and financially responsible.

Our consumers and those who care for them are at the centre of all we do, to ensure the best possible outcomes and experience.

Our accelerators

Care beyond the hospital

Providing the right care, at the right time, in the right place.

Our goal is to advance a connected and efficient health system. We will expand our care at home and in the community, delivering more accessible, equitable and sustainable care. At the same time, we will continue to provide safe, effective and responsive care in our hospitals, for those who need it most.

Tomorrow’s care today

Driven by value; inspired by innovation; elevated by learning.

Our goal is to unlock our collective potential by making research and innovation, part of everyday practice – building the skills and systems to design and deliver care that is valued and shapes the future of healthcare.

Joy in work

More than a job; a place of meaning and connection.

Our goal is to create the conditions for joy in work by fostering purpose, belonging, and meaningful contribution – enabling employees to feel valued and connected to their work. We will remove barriers and frustrations that get in the way of great work and care.
