About NECH

The North Eastern Community Hospital (NECH) is a not-for-profit, community owned, private hospital and residential aged care facility

Founded in 1973 through the initiative of local medical practitioners and two local councils, with support from the Commonwealth Government, NECH is located in the north-eastern suburb of Campbelltown, approximately 10 kilometres from the Adelaide CBD in South Australia.

As a not-for-profit, community-based organisation, all surplus funds are reinvested into the complex to continually improve and enhance our services, facilities, and equipment for the benefit of our patients and residents.

Our modern 60-bed hospital offers private room accommodation, two operating theatres, two gastroenterology procedure rooms, and an eight-bed day surgery unit. We provide a broad range of specialist services including general surgery, orthopaedics, laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, gynaecology, gastroenterology, vascular surgery, and ophthalmology, alongside our Residential Aged Care services.

Our Residential Aged Care Facility comprises 84 licensed beds in a purpose-designed environment focused on delivering contemporary, high-quality care. Through personalised aged care services, we are committed to supporting residents to live with dignity, independence, and meaning.

The strategic direction and governance of the organisation are overseen by our Board of Management, comprising voluntary medical professionals and elected community representatives.
