About Joint Health Command
The Joint Health Command Mission
To provide health support to the Australian Defence Force.
The Joint Health Command Function
Joint Health Command (JHC) provides health care and, from the health perspective,
ensures the preparedness of ADF personnel for operations, as well as preparing
deployable elements of JHC for deployment in support
of operations. To effect this JHC develops
strategic health policy, provides strategic level health advice and exercises
technical and financial control of ADF health units. The Directorate of Defence Clinical Services (DDCS) coordinates the provision of high quality health support
within the National Support Area. Health staff within Joint Operations
Command (JOC) and the environmental commands are responsible for health
aspects of deployable capability.
Our Purpose
Vision
"A World Class Military Health Service"
-
Joint Health Command will be a recognised leader
and provider of quality health care through an efficient and adaptive
Service health care system. World class health care will be
delivered to the ADF through resources provided by or managed through

equipment, training and work practices that meet modern treatment
processes.

The Joint Health Command work force will be fully
integrated under a unified system using uniformed members, Defence
