NSW Regional Health Plan
Help us plan the future of regional health in NSW.
We are developing the new Regional Health Plan 2022-2032 to guide the strategic focus of NSW Health to better serve rural, regional and remote communities across NSW for the next ten years.
The draft plan has been informed by our previous work and what we have heard from key stakeholders.
So far there has been 68 consultation sessions with 1,600 people across NSW as well as more than 2,000 surveys completed. Experiences and insight from stakeholders from across the health sector have also been drawn upon to develop key priorities. This includes local health staff, councils, Primary Health Networks (PHNs), professional associations, training organisations, non-government organisations, ACCHO, community organisation, charities, affiliated organisations and healthcare providers, volunteers, community members, carers, consumers.
‘Regional’ includes all rural, regional, and remote areas of NSW. It includes areas within the rural and regional local health districts and Albury/Wodonga Health: Central Coast, Far West, Hunter New England, Illawarra Shoalhaven, Mid North Coast, Murrumbidgee, Northern NSW, Southern NSW, Western NSW. Some areas of other local health districts may also be considered regional for the purpose of this plan, such as South Western Sydney and Nepean Blue Mountains.
This draft framework provides an overview of the 10-year deliverables and goals which will improve regional health outcomes.
