Mildura Base Public Hospital is in the midst of a major leadership shake-up, with its former CEO abruptly departing and executive roles being restructured — even before the changes were officially announced. Amid financial strain, ballooning liabilities, and mounting staff concerns, the hospital is cutting high-cost locum staff, forcing nurses into double shifts and sparking fears of burnout. While officials claim the goal is to build a sustainable local workforce, critics argue non-clinical hires have hurt patient outcomes. The acting CEO insists patient care remains unaffected, and the Victorian Health Department supports the move, emphasizing responsible spending without freezing recruitment — though tensions simmer as unions and staff brace for change.
