Our vision statement reflects the essence of what EMHS does and aspires to do for staff, patients and the community.
Our values
EMHS strategic and operational plans
The EMHS Strategic Plan 2021-25 sets out the future direction and aspirations for the health service, in alignment with the overarching health system vision for delivery of safe, quality, financially sustainable and accountable health care for all Western Australians. The EMHS Operational Plan outlines collaborative actions which enable our health service to achieve and embed the goals of the Strategic Plan, in line with our vision and values. A new Operational Plan was launched in early 2025, hinging on four pillars – Consumers and community, Our people, The here and now, and A better tomorrow.
Supporting our strategic direction is the new EMHS Clinical Services Plan (CSP) Towards 2035. The CSP is a key strategic document that will guide EMHS clinical service development and prioritisation, informing infrastructure priorities and investment of resourcing over the next ten years. The CSP aspires to deliver, through a culturally safe, contemporary, tiered and integrated network of health services, high quality and excellent healthcare which aligns planning to ensure EMHS delivers patient-centred healthcare to meet the needs of the EMHS population.
