Medical Guidance and Governance

Since 1920 Tweddle has benefited from the expertise, experience and advocacy from a raft of specialists and leaders in their respective fields. Today Tweddle is also required to comply with a range of legislation and health sector policies including government policies relating to financial and human resource management practice.

Tweddle is accountable to the people of Victoria through the Minister for Health and is required to undertake Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) and DHHS accreditation to meet compliance as a public hospital.   We are grateful to the tireless champions who have supported us throughout our first 100 years.
