With a growing and diverse workforce of approximately 8350 employees, NSLHD provides a wide range of public health services to a population of approximately 840,000. While Royal North Shore Hospital is the major referral and teaching hospital, Ryde, Hornsby Ku-ring-gai, Macquarie, Manly and Mona Vale hospitals play an integral role in acute service delivery and the training of clinicians. Allied Health professionals constitute 11% of the NSLHD workforce and provide a broad range of services in their own specialist clinics or as part of multidisciplinary teams.
