Strategic focus

Delivering a clear direction for the future of SMHS

Strategic focus

Becoming a Statutory Authority under the governance of a new Board in mid-2016 was the first step in delivering a clear direction for the future of the South Metropolitan Health Service (SMHS) and helping achieve our vision of excellent health care, every time.

Our new refreshed SMHS Strategic Plan 2021-25 (PDF 4.6MB) focusses on a five year vision with priorities that aim to strengthen our reputation in the delivery of safe, high quality clinical care, including:

  • improving patient safety and quality outcomes
  • achieving high levels of clinical performance
  • encouraging leadership, innovation and engagement
  • maintaining financial sustainability through efficient and effective operations.

Embedding our values across the health service – Care, Integrity, Respect, Excellence and Teamwork – is critical to delivering on our strategic priorities.

Every SMHS staff member plays a vital role in delivering safe, high quality care to our community, and research and continual improvement are central to everything we do.
