Established, probably in 1911, as a cottage hospital, it was reconstituted as a District Hospital on 8 October 1948. Control of the Hospital passed back and forth between a local Board and the board of the Hobart Public Hospitals District until 1 July 1991 when, as part of a general reorganisation of the State's health services, it was integrated into a regional structure covering southern Tasmania. Following the termination of this experiment in 1997 the local board of management reported direct to the Department.~
