The Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network (LHN) manages the delivery of public hospital services and other community-based health services as determined by the state government for the Barossa Hills Fleurieu region. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
At Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network (BHFLHN), we recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
peoples as the First Peoples of Australia.
We acknowledge that the land on which our local health network
delivers health care services are the Traditional Lands for the Kaurna, Ngadjuri, Peramangk and Ngarrindjeri /
Ramindjeri Peoples. We acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have a deep connection with their Land,
Water and Communities. This is central to their cultural, spiritual, social, physical and emotional identity. We honour and pay our respects to all generations of the Kaurna, Ngadjuri, Peramangk, and Ngarrindjeri /
Ramindjeri people. In particular, we honour and pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders
past, present, and emerging. ABOUT US
Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network (BHFLHN) came into being on 1 July 2019 as part of the state-wide
governance reform. BHFLHN delivers a range of in-hospital, aged care, community, disability, and mental health services through public hospitals and other health and aged care service sites located at Gawler, Angaston, Tanunda, Eudunda, Kapunda, Mount Pleasant, Gumeracha, Mount Barker, Strathalbyn, Victor Harbor and Kangaroo Island.

BHFLHN is governed by a Governing Board, reporting to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing, with its functions defined in the Health Care (Governance) Act 2018. We oversee country-wide mental health services through the Rural and Remote Mental Health Service, based
at Glenside, and the state-wide borderline personality disorder service, BPD Co. We also host the Rural Support
Service, which supports all six regional local health networks across the state with a focus on improving quality
and safety. As at November 2021, the overall BHFLHN workforce, including the Rural Support Service, was approximately 2,500 (1,100 full time equivalent). Further to this, there are approximately 450-500 individual general practitioners and medical specialists working in partnership with us and / or providing services through our sites. Many of the sites through which we deliver services hold special historical significance for our communities. Several of our hospitals were initially built as war memorials with community donations and as a result, there is a continued sense of community ownership and connection to them. BHFLHN is unique in Australia in that it completely encapsulates the land borders of all the Adelaide metropolitan local health networks. BHFLHN provides services to the largest population group of all regional local health networks in South Australia, home to 11.9% of the South Australian population and 41% of the regional South Australian population.

WE'RE HIRING
The Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network borders each of the four Adelaide metropolitan Local Health Networks, providing services to the largest population group of all regional local health networks in South Australia. With an employed workforce of over 2000 people, the Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network is unique and geographically diverse, from peri-urban sites near Adelaide, to our wider regions, and the remoteness of Kangaroo Island. This landscape sets us apart in the way we interact with metropolitan and state-wide health services and influences the expectations of our consumers and communities.
