Joint Health Command

Defence Health Services Division was redesignated as Joint Health Command (JHC) with effect 04 August 2008.

As part of the Defence Support Group, 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 Joint Health Support Agency (JHSA) 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.
