Tasmania Hospitals 2026, Overview

Tasmania's public hospital system is managed by the Tasmanian Health Service (THS), with Royal Hobart Hospital as the state's principal tertiary facility and Launceston General Hospital serving northern Tasmania. Tasmania's island geography and smaller population mean that some highly specialised services (certain transplants, specialist paediatric surgery) are provided via mainland transfer arrangements. In a medical emergency, call Triple Zero (000).
