Why us
A unique and significant position
The Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association has held a unique and significant position in Australia’s health care industry, being the primary peak body representing the public health care sector.
It was established as the Australian Hospital Association in 1946, with the major teaching hospitals in Melbourne and Sydney as members.
In 1996, the name was changed to the Australian Healthcare Hospital to reflect the growing diversity in the membership base and the emergent policies at Federal and state levels focusing on out-of-hospital services.
In 2006, the name changed to how we know it today, bringing together its original identity while still reflecting its comprehensive membership base.
