The Joint Health Command (JHC) is led by the dual-hatted Commander Joint Health and Surgeon General of the Australian Defence Force and is responsible for the delivery of military medicine and joint healthcare services to Australian Defence Force personnel, including military psychiatry and rehabilitation services. The JHC is also responsible for providing strategic health policy, the development of the health preparedness of ADF personnel for operations, and the coordination of health units for deployment in support of operations.

The Commander Joint Health is responsible to the Chief of Joint Capabilities whilst deployed health units are responsible to the Chief of Joint Operations. The JHC is staffed by Australian Defence Force active and reserve personnel, Department of Defence public servants, and contracted health professionals.[1][2][3]

History

Pacific Partnership

The Joint Health Command has contributed personnel to the United States Pacific Fleet's Pacific Partnership, a humanitarian assistance initiative, since 2005.

In 2010, 25 personnel of the Joint Health Command, supported by HMAS Labuan and HMAS Tarakan acting as forward operating platform for remote medical and dental clinics, deployed to North Maluku and assisted in medical treatment for over 5000 patients and 150 surgeries onboard USNS Mercy.

AUSMTF Uruzgan

In 2008, the health personnel from the Australian Army and the Royal Australian Air Force provided two rotations of 10 surgical and intensive care personnel in support of the Dutch Role 2 (Enhanced) Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) also called the Uruzgan Medical Centre located in Kamp Holland in Tarin Kowt, the capital of the southern Uruzgan province known as AUSMTF teams.[4]

Role

The JHC exercises technical and financial control of Australian Defence Force health units.

Structure

The JHC is staffed by medical, dental and allied health professionals. These staff may also provide garrison health services to ADF members while they are not on deployment. A total of 1699 health practitioners work in garrison health services comprising 403 public servants, 510 defence personnel, and 786 contractors working on a sessional basis.

The Joint Health Command is made up of the:

  • Garrison Health Operations Branch which is responsible for the delivery and management of healthcare to ADF personnel within Australia and on non-operational postings overseas.
  • Mental Health, Psychology and Rehabilitation Branch which provides mental health support across occupational psychology, rehabilitation services, and mental health clinical programs.
  • Health Capability Branch which oversees health resources and logistics, pharmacy, workforce development and training, and strategic health capabilities.
  • Strategic Health Coordination Branch which oversees family health, health and medical research, and eHealth data and information management.
  • Chair of Military Surgery and Medicine is a professional position held jointly at the University of Queensland, the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital and the Department of Defence to lead a research program in trauma medicine and surgery relevant to the Australian Defence Force.

Regional Health Services

The JHC's delivery of garrison health services is via a regional structure for medical facilities through Regional Health Servcies (RHS) that provide the basis for healthcare administration. JHC manages 104 garrison health facilities.[5]
